Eye Gunk/Booger Remedy?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

what is the website again? I can't seem to find it.

I use ProEye wipes from petedge. They work good.

Nancy1999 · 03-09-2009, 02:18 PM

Interesting thread, Joey had watery eyes as a pup, when I switched to distilled water, his eyes cleared up, and every now and again I would try regular water and the tearing returned, and I'd switch back and they would clear up. Finally he outgrew the problem, and he drinks regular water with no tearing. With the tearing he experienced there was no gunk, or brown stuff or what you might call boogers, it was just wet in that area. Now two years, have passed, and no tearing, no boogers nothing. I finally decide to try another food, because Joey's food, Royal Canin, has high corn content, and people convinced me potatoes are better. I switched to Blue Wilderness, I went slowly, and after two days he was only eating half and half, but I noticed his eyes were really bad, not just watering but gunky, so much gunk I had to take a damp cloth to get it out. This continued, for a week until I decided to stop the new food. His eyes looked better the next day, there was no gunk, but they are watery and haven't completely dried up. Now I'm mad at myself for switching the food, I don't know if there is a correlation between the new food and the gunk since the eyes haven't cleared completely.

The bottle itself says decreases drainage, effectively removes set in tears stains, and a few other things. So far with Cookie on her second day using it she has less tears coming out and less tear stains. Its not completely gone yet so it will probably take some time to fully clear up but its a big improvement from before.

Apple cider vinegar should be diluted,maybe 1/4 teaspoon in the water dish.I am trying this remedy right now I will let you know how it works,although I am using it for skin problems it is supposed to work for tear staining also.I have read also that if you know the dog has yeast allergies not yo use it for that.Just thought I would add that for any reading who want to try it for their dogs skin problems.

It is also said to be good for humans as well and has lots of healing properties. I have started using it today also.You can find the info about it and other home remedies on earthclinic.com.

For tear staining you can use ditilled water.I noticed they were not tearing in 2 days.I used the walmart brand for babies.And its cheap with no chemicals.

Hope this helps

well i ordered some of this on sunday and received it on wednesday - fast shipping

unfortunately i had ordered two bottles and only received one...i emailed them and they responded back so quick...such great customer service

i used it once last night and will use it once a day for at least 30 days...i am expecting great things from this product

my kids tolerated the application really well...so it must not have burned or irritated them at all which is great!

THANKS CARMEN!
We are going to give this a try too!

txrosegirl · 03-13-2009, 05:35 AM

carmen, i could kiss you right now LOL

i used this two nights so far (since i just got it wednesday) ... well the day after i used it the first time, i could actually SEE a difference in miss buffey and bentleys eye areas!!! bentley has pretty bad tear stains and buffey messes with her hair so much lately, it is poking in her eyes and she is getting tear stains too

i know it will take a while to clear up bentleys stains but there is already a marked improvement and i am thrilled! i am just trying to figure out the best way to apply it...i used a cotton ball the first night but feel it wasted too much product...might get those cosmetic cotton rounds at the drugstore this weekend

thanks so much for the rec - so far we LOVE this product

i could even tell bentley had less eye boogers yesterday!

carmen in nj · 03-13-2009, 05:43 AM

AWWWW, thank you girls.. I will pass the kiss to DR. Renata Wills, she is my holistic Vet, I LOVE HER, now remember my oldest son is a VET Tech, in his second year of Vet School at Penn State U. and works for a great Vet clinic here in NJ,so I am a firm beliver of second opinions and alternative treatments.. I have a laundry list of holistics remedies here at home..

sometimes my son just

at me..but since I am MOM , he just suggest.. I even got him to try calm eyes on his alaskan malamute and he had to agree IT WORKS...

beleive me I would NEVER recomend something that I had NOT tried myself or my pups..
hugs,
Carmen in nj
