So now I am nervous of my purchase... I don't want to give my sweet girl something that will cause problems like that. Since I have had her she has never had an upset stomach and I dont want to make her uncomfortable over tear stains.
I also have read that tear stains can be caused by their diet. Taycie is currently on Blue Buffalo Small Breed puppy formula and it has no added colorings or flavors that can also cause staining.. I have switched her water to filtered because I also heard that helps.. Any thoughts? I am nervous now to start Angel Eyes and I am seriously considering sending it back but I thought before I did I could ask all the wonderful mommy's out there for some much needed advice!
Thanks  |
Joey experienced really bad brown eye goop when we switched over to Blue Wilderness made by the Blue Buffalo Company. It wasn't just a few tears; it was bad brown goop in the morning, and the tearing lasted all day. I switched him back to Royal Canin and his eyes cleared up, and about a month later I tried the Blue Wilderness again with the same results. I don't know what caused the problem, but Joey had some sensitivity to the food. Many people recommend it with great results. Here's an article on eye tears and staining.
Tear Staining: The Causes & Cures Tearing isn't unusual when they are a puppy; teething can cause it, but if staining is occurring, you might want to something about it, because this means that the facial hair is wet most of the time, and this can lead to a yeast infection.
Angel Eyes has a very small dosage of an antibiotic, and I've read that many people use it with good results. I haven't read about the diarrhea and vomiting, but I guess some dogs could be sensitive to it. You can also have your vet prescribe the antibiotic TYLAN, and some people say that this is a better and cheaper way to do it, or ask your vet his opinion. I think I would do a food change before I tried the drug, but an antibiotic shouldn't be that harmful for short-term use.
