Huey, who will be turning 1 in a few weeks, has had stubborn tear stains since we got him at 8 weeks old.

I am so thankful for YT and have tried everything I can find on the forums, but nothing seems to be helping.

Here's what we've done so far.

- Filtered water, nursery water, bottled water
- Plain yogurt (about a teaspoon a day for several weeks)
- Tried different foods - Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet, Royal Canin, Wellness Core (still on Wellness Core - have yet to try Blue Buffalo or Solid Gold)
- Angel Eyes - made him vomit despite using half the dose for his weight
- Burt's Bees topical tear stain remover - waste of $

Vet and groomer are clueless - they both think something else made him sick and suggest trying Angel Eyes again but I'm leery. He's so little so I worry about him being dehydrated - last time he threw up four or five times!

He has all his permanent teeth so I'm assuming it's not due to teething.

Please help!
