It sounds like if it doesn't work in a few months, then something else is causing the problem. Some people have to continue to use the Angel Eyes at a lower dosage, after the excessive tearing stops. Of course, don't use foods that have any dyes in them, but it could be anything from bacteria in the food, to allergies.

Thanks for your help. Yes, I have used angel eyes in the past and Im currently using it to help with thier tearing. It works, I just dont like to use it long term but I guess I can. Im using Merricks for now and as far as I know they dont have any dyes in their foods. Ive been using them for about 2ish months now and the tearing/staining just started about 2 weeks ago, that's why I think its the food because nothing else in their diet has changed and today I noticed while they were outside doing thier business both of them had red staining around thier poopers.. I would think was a huge indicator that its the food , I have never seen that before. My toy poodle has had tearing in the past, but I related it to the corn in her food. I have sent out for samples for a few different food companies agian, in hopes that I can find something they will eat and that will help, but the list is getting limited as we have tried many, many foods. The acv that I was using was only 2 teaspoons in a large water bowl,(not sure of the size) I wouldnt think that it was too strong, but I will can try again using less.
