Most veterinary eye specialists believe the actual cause of tear staining is excess tearing. When the face hair is wet from excess tearing it is the breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. One of the most common yeast infections is Ptyrosporin or Red Yeast which causes a deep reddish-brown stain. Low grade bacterial infections in the tear ducts are also common and may cause excess tearing and staining.

Should I be concerned about this, because even when I give Nilla baths, her face stays that reddish-brown color? I hadn't looked into tear stains much, but after reading that, do I need to have her eyes checked by a veterinarian? I didn't know it was caused by infection.
