I get the shivers when I clean them out of Lucys eyes. She is getting rather ornery on me (she is 12) and has some dementia issues, but when I give her her weekly bath I comb them all out with a smooth metal comb (gently)- It is the only time I can really get her cleaned up.The ointment keeps them less and easier to remove but that is probably just the petroleum base. Her eye is set differently than a yorkies also. |
