Trimmmg hair in corner of eyes - help I just got a new yorkie that is a year old. She needs the hair trimmed from the inner corner of her eyes but she has never been trained to sit still to let me accomplish this task. Does anyone have any suggestions. The previous owner did not have her long but she said the vet told her that she needed to keep this hair trimmed because it was causing her eyes to stay yucky. |
Get the scissors with rounded tips. Have someone help you hold her head still. This is still my biggest fear in grooming. Ben is wiggly and I am always afraid that I will poke his eye, but it has never happened. Thank goodness. I make sure to lay the scissors horizontal to his skin and then cut. That way nothing is poking towards the eye itself. You can also use those little trimmers meant for facial hair. But I find mine is more scared by buzzing close to his face. So, I use the scissors. Even those little mustache scissors will work as long as you get good ones. |

I use the tiny eyebrow trimming scissors w/a rounded tip. I think you can get it from beauty supply stores or .99cent stores for .99cents. I grab the chin hairs, firmly. It won't hurt them...then snip carefully. |
I feel your pain Marley wont sit still either. I have to push the hair down away from her eyes all the time. I am going to try this advice when I get home today :) Thanks everyone! |
Wow, everyone here is so daring. There is no way I could clip the hair in teh corner of Meg's eyes. I leave that to the groomer! |

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to try to let it grow out and see what happens but if I have to trim it I'll get scissors with rounded tips. Thanks |
When I trim the eye hair in the inner corner, I put my index finger right over the eye, leaving the wild little hairs laying on the side/top of my finger to trim. This let's me hold their little head when doing so. The nose hair scissors never go near the eye. I don't have to trim Lucy's anymore, but Pebble's hair is still wild..... :aimeeyork |
hairs poking eye balls My Charlies hair is short around the eyes and he gets alot of loose hairs on his eye balls and alot of mucus and crusties everymorning. And it grows so fast it needs to be trimmed alot, more than I prefer to have scissors in his face. Makes me nervous! If I just let it grow will it be better for him in the long run. Less mucus, less hair laying on his eye balls. Poor guy. :( |
Yep get the baby scissors, get that little wiggler under your arm good and tight on a solid surface cover the eyes with your fingers and just snip the hair. I've been doing it to Teegy since I got him |
vaseline put some vaseline on those hairs while letting it grow. It won't hurt and it helps to clean the crusties out!! Also use a warm wash cloth every morning and then apply the vaseline. good luck that's what I use. |

With my 2nd Yorkie Bullet, I knew better and his hair near his eyes has never been cut and is falling into place nicely (he's 6 months old). |
