Do your kids have dried tears and how do you keep their little faces soft and clean?
Toto had that problem with tearing too! I got those little wipey things from PetSmart and she "tolerated" the constant cleaning. Suddenly I realized it stopped! It evidently was so gradual that I didn't realize when ... just that it did! She still occasionally has just a little tearing but not that awful big goopy stuff like she used to have. So ... perhaps it's something that stops as they get older? I will try to remember and ask Dr. Lucy next week when we go for our "looking over". We will also be having our "weigh-in"! Keep your fingers crossed .... I believe the little bit of extra weight is gone!
