Help guys, does anyone else have problems with excessive eye drainage? It its hard to get out of Tobie's fur, any suggestions? The vet suggested using a warm cloth and that it could be clogged tear ducts which I do.

Also and update! Tobie has been going potty outside now for the past week and doing good with less than 5 accidents inside! YAY Tobie! Thanks for all the help with pottying, we're getting the hang of it now.

What I do is when I am washing them, I wet/wash the area, and comb it with a flea comb and it comes right out.

He'll probably grow out of it.

I wipe them away with Shaw's Pretty Eyes lotion on a dampened cloth.
It stops build up of a stain too if you do it every couple of days, or even daily if they're bad.

Best way is to prevent them. I give my girls Distilled water to drink, it's the minerals in regular water that contribute to the tear staining. Plus a sprinkle of Angels Eyes on their food every day, and Voila! No eye boogers

I have this fabulous comb from CC system... Butter Comb 006. It takes the booger out right away. I love this comb that I bring it everywhere because I bring Haruka everywhere

Where do you get this pretty eyes solution?

Thanks

Angel Eyes is expensive!!!!

Well, here's what I'm going to do when my Angels Eyes runs out. Although it was not too terrible, $15 at my groomer's. All it is made of is Freeze dried beef liver. That's it! So if you get some of those treats that are the dried liver, and feed one of those a day, I believe you should see the same results. Eating liver is supposed to remove toxins from their bodies somehow, which in turn makes their eye boogies lighter and less. Mine don't need anything done between their weekly baths

I got my bottle of AE about 1.5 months ago and have only used half of it so far, it only takes a sprinkle, so it does last.

It is really really really easy to just comb it off though... instead of using any other products.. just my opinion...

This is a link, I hope, to Shaws who make the Pretty Eyes

I'm sure they'll be able to tell you if you can buy it near you, or order it online.
Hope it helps.
