I would not cut it out as then the little hairs grow in and annoy his eyes. I find that u must do it everyday if I let it slip and it gets hard he will scratch and then off to vet we go.. a warm cloth gingerly and slowly on the spots does work. My vet used straight saline solution and that works the best at dissolving the ick. The vet did us a flea comb but I do not. I bought Miracle Care from Amazon Eye wash pads. Use 1 pad/eye. This is the best for me. It must bother him because when I say Eyes! He comes right over (he is 4 don’t be disappointed if you have a pup). Good luck |
