How do you clean the eye goobers?

[hviola]

She has eye goobers in the inside corner of her eyes. I tried using a wet cotton ball and a wet paper towel to wipe them out to no avail. Any suggestions?

i use a wet washcloth with warm water.

My pup takes whatever I do to him when we're grooming so I take the very edge of a fine toothed comb and just comb the goobers out. It actually works really well, and Scooter sits completely still so I've never poked him!

That's what works for me also - get a cat flea comb - it's small and has small teeth - works perfectly

Triss is very squirmy. I have to have my husband hand feed her small bits of wet food to keep her busy while I brush her. Shes improved some, and I hope she will get better with the daily brushing. (She wont let me get her legs or belly and they are starting to get matted) I will try a warm washcloth on the eyes, might grip it more than the cotton ball.

Is there a dog hair detangler to make the brushing easier?

I usually just wipe them out with my finger or warm wash cloth. Alphy I use a eye brow comb. He's pretty tolerant of most things so he doesn't wiggle which helps.

use lots of water.. then a dry washcloth to dry the area.. a fine tooth comb also.. do it daily to prevent build up.. dont forget to brush her teeth
and all the rest...

Its easier to do if it doesn't build up. And the warm water normally helps. But if its still stuck then the comb works really well. Get one of those really small lil pal ones they are for the very small breeds. Kinda like a baby comb.

I wipe them out with my fingers every morning, so they don't build up. He knows I roll over, say 'let me see', wipe his eye boogers, go wash my hands, brush my teeth, and we got out for our morning walk. In the beginning he squirmed but, he got use to it. He gets so excited, knowing we're about to go outside, that he just sits still so to get it done. lol

I put a dab of baby shampoo in a dish of warm water and use baby washcloths to gently wipe out the goopers. Then I brush it with a toothbrush. Works great!

since you mentioned teeth. OMG, Emma loves me to rub her gums with my finger but when i get near her with that toothbrush, you'd think I had a bomb in my hand!

This is what I use also. You need something with texture to get them out.

I either use a warm babies washcloth or baby wipe. I do it everyday as part of his grooming routine. He just got used to it after awhile.
