| Help!! Eye Boogies! Any help out there for eye boogies? I have trimmed the little hairs that stab the eyes. Bruno is only 10 weeks old. Seems to have alot of tears that kind of matt up. I don't want to alter his looks too much by getting crazy with scissors! Thanks, Kaitlyn Bruno |

| My breeder suggested using a flee comb to keep this hair untangled. I do that and it works great. I have not trimmed eye hair, just keep brushing it downward.

| I just get them out after her bath, they comb out really easily and I then can wipe them off her snout. She doesn't like to be messed with, but she does okay now that I've done it for awhile. I just clean her snout with a warm washcloth and a teeny tiny bit of soap and then rinse her out as good as I can, they're loose and gooey by then. :-) |

| A moustache comb is what I use. Works great!!! Small enough size that the two of mine do not mind it at all~ |

| I haven't used one before but I've also heard of people using eyelash/eyebrow combs. If you have an old one lying around the house you could use that. When I give Reagan a bath I put a little eye contact solution on a cotton ball and wipe the area real well. During the week I use a moustache comb to get them out and will wipe with a warm damp cloth if needed.
