| Eye Boogers.... Does anyone have any ideas to get eye boogers cleaned out that are completely caked into his fur at the very corner of his eye? I was thinking mineral oil to loosen it up...but I wasn't sure if it would harm him if any got into his eyes? its all hard and gross and I gotta get this gunk off his pretty face!! |

| I use a warm washcloth to soften them and then use a flea comb to comb them right out.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I use a toothbrush, just keep dipping it under water - brush corner of eye; the more you keep adding water, the easier it just brushes right out.

| I just get it really wet when I give him a bath. Then, you can work them right out with your finger's. |

| I either pick it out with my fingers or use a flea comb, dipped in warm water. It depends on how "lodged" it is!
