I use Sterile Eye Wash Solution (for Humans) and a cotton ball. Apply it to the affected area generously to soften any goopy eye discharge. Then I comb with wide toothed comb to remove the debris, then narrow toothed comb, then a flea comb. Apply the eyewash as needed to keep goopy stuff soft, and comb down to the skin gently so no hair is pulled out, but goop is removed. Do a final application of eye wash and flea comb. A breeder once told me this occurs due to an infection in the eye and to apply Antibiotic eye ointment (eye ointment ONLY) Terramycin or triple ab, keep the area clean, using the eye wash. Check the eyes and area around the eyes daily to avoid the stench.
Dog's ears should never smell bad. This can be a sign of infection in the ear and should be checked by a vet, as medications may be necessary to clear it up.
Their skin should never smell bad, and fur should be fluffy, not oily or gooey. Sticky or goopy feeling skin is not normal and should be diagnosed by a vet, as medications are available to treat any number of skin issues. |
