I did switch their kibble a couple months back & it did not agree w/all of them so I switched back. Their poopie was always on the soft side & Mimi even had anal gland issues. Now this confuses me, does that mean Momo is not agreeing w/the current food or was it something triggered by the other food. That's exactly what it is, 'gooey brown liquid' yuk.

I've started to grow it back & the tear stains are back. I'm going to ask my vet about flushing her tear ducts when she goes in for her dental. I read some stuff about flushing on the Maltese boards. Have you ever had that done? If that doesn't work, I may just go back to keeping her eyes trimmed. It's always wet & goopy, plus it's not very attractive. I also bought some whitening gel from #1 All Systems - although I'm afraid to use it because it might get in her eyes. |
That's what I do, trim the stained tear stains bc they spread. Once it grows back, the stains are back. I never heard of flushing out their tear ducts...guess it wouldn't hurt to try if vet says it's ok.
