Some suggestions please - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have had my Yorkie for a week now and gave her her first bath yesterday.

Her previous owner said that it had been awhile since she'd had a bath, which isn't a problem but she got some caked up crud at her eyes.

I wiped at it with a warm cloth while I was holding her after her bath but I don't want to hurt her.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me to clean her eyes up, I just hate the way that crud looks at the corner of her eyes and I don't want it to be causing her any discomfort.

I appreciate any help that any of you can give me.

I would take a warm cloth and gently rub her eyes. They also sell eye wipes and cleaners at the pet store. Maybe try some of that.

Just keep at it with a warm washcloth.It should loosen up.

I agree with the warm washcloth. Watery eyes are a trait of the breed. She needs to get used to having her eyes cleaned reguarly now that's she's a puppy so she'll let you do it later without much fuss.
