Tear stain....what to do? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Great info, has anyone ever used tear stain remover, denture powder, toothpaste, or peroxide? I have heard some people using that successfully with other breeds to remove tear stains. I never even though of using anything until recently, since a lot of Maltese have tear stain issues.

We use a flea comb twice a day on his eye boogers and then use a damp cloth to clean it as well....

I use warm water and a cloth. If its real bad I use a flea comb.

I just use a wet cotton ball. It works great. If the cottom ball doesn't get it...I'll use my finger!

Thanks!

Check out my thread, "Remedy for yukky eyes" that I posted earlier today. I haven't tried it yet, but it was my Vet that told me.
Good luck

I used a warm wash cloth and comb them out with his fine tooth comb.
