Great info everyone!! I just adopted a 12 week old Maltese and she has really bad tear staining. I got something from the pet store for it, but still haven't seen an improvement. She only gets distlled water, and her treat and food are all natural. I'll have to try the vinegar.

What causes the eye goop? Sophie seems to only have it in one eye. Some days more than other days. And then it will go away for a day or two and before you know it, it is back again. She goes in on Tues. for her stitch removal from her spay last week and I was gonna ask her Vet. Since it was only one eye, and rarely, but once in awhile, she kind of squints out of that eye, I thought maybe it was a hair poking her or a possible infeciton. But it's just plain dark goopy stuff.
