I've also tried the Burt's Bees tear stain remover - I haven't seen any results yet because it says you have to use it for a few weeks before you can see a difference. BUT, it says it only really deals with the staining problem, not the crusty problem or tearing to begin with.
I'm wondering if there is a slight overgrowth of yeast. My Teddy had an overgrowth of red and crusty gunk around his eyes and my vet did a scraping of the skin and there was ALOT of yeast. Dogs normally have yeast on their skin, but sometimes this can get out of balance, and in that case, there is too much yeast. My Teddy went on a two week course of oral antifungal medication and it cleared right up.
