Eye Boogies I'm not sure if this is a Yorkie thing or just Gizmo but I try to wipe his eye boogies off everyday but he makes so much that after work by the time I wipe him down some are already hard as rocks. He gets a bath once a week where I have to soak them and can get them out, sometimes though even that doesn't work and I have to cut the hair off. Does anyone have a better remedy then just soaking them or cutting them out? or a anything that would help him make less? |
I have to do that for Piper. I try to wipe it out as soon as I see it but it is hard. Aromapaws makes a face wash that may help. You use it on the dry hair. Their shampoos and products are all natural and reasonable. Google aroma paws. |

I had a problem with this with certain dog foods. Don't know if that's a common cause or only with my girls. Can I ask what you are feeding him? |
Also my favorite face wash is Espree Foaming Face Wash in the plum scent. You can get it at toplinepetcom. |
I use vetericyn for almost everything topical. They have an eye wash and eye gel that helps the eyes. This stuff is amazing and I have used it for so many different things, from my neighbors dogs hot spots to sties (sp?) in my husbands eye, which worked very quickly. My daughter has used it on herself for psoriasis that she had since she was a child, and its finally gone after 32 years from using the spray version. Read the reviews on it and its amazing. I actually am a paraplegic, and for years had to have a tube that was surgically put through to drain my bladder but that did not even work. Last march I had the tube removed after having it for 4 years because I was still getting really bad staph infections, and I had heard of this product being effective on humans, as there is a rx version for people that is fom the same company but cost 3x as much because it is rx, but anyways I use it as a solution to flush my bladder and I have not had an infection since march. All it really is, is super oxegenated water that kills bacteria and promotes healthy cellular growth. It's really an amazing product that works for so many things its unbelievable. I have used it on my Gizmo for an allergy for fleas, and it totally soothed his skin right away and no more itching. HEre is a link for the eye version so you can read about it :-) Vetericyn Ophthalmic Products | Vetericyn Eye Wash and Gel by Doctors Foster and Smith |

Same boat here.... Ours has sneezing and sometimes snuffling issues as well. He sneezes a lot when excited. I kinda figured it was a yorkie thing, eye buggars, nose, mouth....since they are all attached... I know ours needs dental work real bad.. mamma is supposed to be consulting with the vet... I may need to pick up that torch since it's not getting done.. my thought is that his bad teeth MAY be responsible for some of his sneezing and excessive eye buggars. IDK:confused: I'd hate to put ours through extensive dental surgery if it lowers his quality of life... he's 10-12 years old... not sure how much pain he could stand from an extensive dental... I am extremely scared that we may lose him to a surgery.... dental.. Is it like toss a coin thing? I'll figure out how to word it better and start a thread... I didn't intend to ramble and hijack the thread. Anyway, ours has eye buggars too, some days there is more than others.. It's way better now than when we first rcvd him 6 months ago. |
Just looked at my old threads. It was Wellness we had issues with. |
You might find some info here in this thread. Hope it helps. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-eye-gunk.html |
