Help! How the hizell do you get the crust... of their eyes? :( It's not time for him to go to the groomer yet. My daughter gave him a bath last night, and told me today she couldn't get it out. I told her I usually let the groomer do it, I've never had to, so it's my fault for not asking. I felt under his eyes and was like :eek: It feels like a little stone. We wet it and it still couldn't get it out. He's all clean and smelling good except for the crusty eyes. :confused: What to do?:confused: |
I have very carefully cut those darn things off. Would love others advice on this though. I have heard of others using a flea comb |

Are they caused by them tearing the same way the Maltese has those reddish looking stains under their eyes? |
I use unscented hypoallergenic babywipes (dye free) and rub the crust and it comes off. |
I have some baby wipes, I will try anything right now. He's sleeping so I will wait till he gets up. The crust is really hard, I don't want to hurt him, but I want it off his face. |
I do two things. Soak the area with a warm wet cloth and then firmly but gently rub it off - that takes quite a while. Or - use a flea comb - it's alot quicker, but with the teeny tiny ones, you have to be careful 'cause the combs are so big. Now that you know - you can watch and do it more often so it's not such a big trial!:D My toy poodle is white and his tears leave a red stain. Tink is black so no stain but there is crust. I flea comb her face every other day to get the crusties. She's a baby and her hair is short right now. so it's pretty easy. |

Flea combs are very inexpensive - the little plastic ones, with a 'course' side and a 'fine' side. They're handy for grooming. |
flea combs are great for getting these out. They will be there on a regular basis. I have to remove them from my dogs eyes every day or two. i wet them with a little baby tearless shampoo on my finger tip then wash with a warm washcloth and use the flea comb. |
i use a flea comb also |
I also use a flea comb |
First I use a soft toothbrush and brush the hair by her eyes while she is in the bathtub with warm water and tearless puppy shampoo. Or if it isn't too bad, I use puppy wipes and a flea comb. |

You can get them real cheap at Petsmart. They are great for grooming too |
I wash Bailey's face everyday with warm water or baby shampoo and when needed use a flea comb. I bought a small one in the cat section of PetSmart, they are less then $2.00. Michele & Bailey:aimeeyork |
Adonis has always got them. I call them boogers. And if you don't get his every night, they will build up. I use a warm washcloth every night, then a flea comb to get the rest out. |
Me too... I use the warm wash rag and just hold it on her eye area for a few seconds (while I'm talking to her) and then wipe down her beard on that same side. I like the metal flea comb... the plastic one seemed to tug on Mia's hair. But I do her teeth, face and private areas - daily. |
He's letting me touch his face, but as I am messing with the "boogers" lol, he is becoming resistant. This is harder than I thought.:( |
I bought a supplement called Angel's Eyes from my groomer. Her Maltese used to have the icky red-stained under her eyes, but now they're gone. It's actually just freeze-dried beef liver, ground up. I found some treats that are just the liver cubed, so I'm going to try grinding those up in the food processor and see if I can get the same powdery consistancy. If it works, it's a lot cheaper to buy the treats;) The stuff does work for Luna, btw, cuz she had icky rusty eye goo and now it's just clear and very light:thumbup: . I hardly have to do her eyes at all anymore, and it was B A D before. Izzy's eyes are pretty clear already, but she gets Angel's too anyway:) |
I too had a very hard time with this Peeka's face is so tiny nothing worked for me but we did find a trick i use a regular hair comb when i am bathing him i get the area wet an gantly comb them out it works every time he gets them bad so this was the easiest method for us |
I take a make-up cotton moistened in warm water and hold it the eye buggers to loosen them up. Then put the flea comb through it. Works every time. I learned this trick from another YT member. I would have to say that this is the single most useful tip I learned on YT! |
