While Angel Eyes can definitely help with some tear staining, the issue of giving antibiotics EVERY single day or whatnot is a bit concerning. Because really, you could cause some antibiotic resistance, and that's always a concern.
All that said, some people swear by Angel Eyes and they love it! I think what you have to do is weigh the pros and cons, and maybe even give it a trial, and then make the best decision for you and your kiddo. Only you know your kiddo best. I don't know what I'd do if I was in your shoes...I would probably be tempted to see what Angel Eyes would do for my kiddo, out of curiosity, if nothing else.
Have you tried using bottled water yet instead of tap water for their bowls? Many people here notice less tearing when they switch to a purified water. |
Many thanks for your helpful comment here. She's been on either distilled or filtered water only for three plus months now send whilst the tearing prevails her coat and general health has been markedly better. This if course parallel to her healthy organic food diet as well.
