| Lucy has bad tear stains too - and you can see a little bit of the hair missing around her nose on one side. The vet told me that some of the tearing can have a little bacteria on it. He recommended just gently wiping her tears stains with a warm, soft cloth and putting a little triple antibiotic ointment (not cream) on the tear area for a few weeks. Not in her eyes. The ointment helps the moisture to roll off too. It has been looking a little better.

| One of the poodles has more of a problem with this as he gets older. I try to was his face every morning and it seems to help. I think that I will try the ointment and see if that helps. Great suggestion. |

| They sell special wipes for the eye area. There are various brands. It is best to keep small hairs from getting into the eyes and clean the area daily with the eye wipes. They are antibacterial wipes and it keeps the area clean and free of build up. |
