Tear Stains I know there has been several threads regarding "how to get rid of tear stains" but what causes them???? My furbaby is 6 months old and has them. She is on wellness puppy kibble and bottled spring water. Do you think it's her diet? I know she is teething and I think I read this can make it worse. I clean her eyes everyday and she doesn't have a lot of eye gunk, just reddish brown staining. I haven't used any of the products yet but I am considering it. I notice some yorkies have eye staining and some don't. Does eye tear staining go hand and hand with allergies? Otherwise she is very healthy. |
I understand in come cases, eye lashes can iritate the eyes....?? Bailey is two years old and her tearing is just now becoming an issue? I'm going to ask the vet about it... |
One of my Maltese has a tear staining problem...his left eye won't fully close because he has a little wart-like growth on the rim of his eyelid (Maltese are prone to these little growths). It has been removed twice, but keeps coming back. As a result, this eye tears more. I wash his face regularly with Johnson's baby shampoo and it keeps the problem at bay. The vet can't remove the growth until it gets to a certain size, so until it is big enough to be removed again, washing every couple of days or so with no-tears shampoo works for us. I should note that I am less concerned with tear staining than with the accumulation of "gunk" around his eye. I try to keep it clean and the added benefit is the reduction of the tear staining. |
