| Anyone know about yorkie tears and TUMS?? Strange I know but when I was getting T.O. groomed, the groomer said you can balance their PH with TUMS. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this or has a good method on keeping their eyes from being so watery?! |

| I use 1/2 tums about an hour before ring time....don't give them on a daily basis, just on show days.

| I have also heard adding vinegar to their water helps out..and using distilled water is supposed to make it better...anyone use either of these methods? |

| I read on one of the breeder pages where it says give 1/2 tum daily stops the rust color stains that some dogs get under their eyes. |

| Not sure........but vinegar is acidic.....contrary to TUMS which is basic (alkaline). I am assuming it works by neutralizing the ph?

| I'd like to know about Tums, too. I put apple cider vinegar to their water. Should I stop doing this ?

| Don't know about the Tums or vinegar, but my baby drinks distilled water. I can see a BIG difference in her eyes! |
