Let him go a week after a bath, even with once or twice daily clear-water eye cleaning and face-washing, the boogies get progressively worse daily. If I wait 2 weeks between baths, his eyes are pretty boogied up mornings despite how many clear-water eye cleaning the day before.
But if I use a drop or two of his prescription shampoo to wash around his eyes every other day, followed with rinsing, even if it's been a week or even two since a bath, his boogies are either absent or tiny despite the season or diet. Anybody else noticed that? |
Yes, our little girl does better with slightly more frequent baths - once a week is about right - 8 days is too long. I mentioned earlier I use the eye cleaning pads and a flea comb which also seems to calm her eyes and get the residual goo out of her facial hair. That helps a lot, too.
