I've read that some people have had great success with it, it does contain a small amount of an antibotic called Tylan. Some people believe that it's safer to get the Tylan directly from your vet. Here's what one link says about Tylan:

TYLAN is the brand name for Tylosin, a veterinary antibiotic that is FDA approved for fowl (chickens/turkeys) and swine (pigs). This is used primarily to treat respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Many Maltese people have found that this product can also have some beneficial effect in controlling tear staining in Maltese. You can purchase this from Omaha Vaccine. See Dog Shopping and Services page for their phone number. Tear Staining: The Causes & Cures

I think I would talk to the vet about this, and see what he thinks. I doubt if short term use would cause any harm.
