Stuff in the corner of the eye

[Always8]

Does anyone else have a problem with stuff in your babies eyes. My Tali has a problem with both eyes in the corner. I dont know what it is maybe tearstain. Is there any thing that I can do to help it. I have to clean her eyes out everyday because she has eye boogies. But is seems to always happen.


Thanks
Steph

We have this same problem too and would like to hear what others are doing for this also.

Yeah, I think it's a yorkie trait. I've heard that giving them distilled water instead of tap water is supposed to help but I keep forgetting to buy some

[Always8]

It is a pain in the butt to deal with because when I go to clean it out it looks like it hurts her

Change the water to distilled water.. or iron free water. Dont feed them anything red including treats. I think thas what they say here. I recently started giving my boy distilled water.. i am waiting to see if it works. If i am wrong on the distilled water part please tell me. I am just limited to my choices here in PR since i don't have a car and have to shop and get whats convenient. I miss all my bottled water choices in the States.

Also wash every day with a warm cloth and that helps clean it off

I just bought Eye Envy which gets it off easily when you pour some on a warm, wet paper towel. It's supposed to get the stain out after awhile too. I'd be surprised if it did, but it is a painless way to get the gook off.

ditto...I have to clean Reeses eye boogies once in mornin and once in evening and it still doesnt solve the problem completely. I have heard give them distilled water to drink and cut back on treats with red dye...I havent tried this. I give him bottled water/purified filter water but not distilled water...I have never heard of distilled water being drank by humans and if we cant drink it or dont drink it...im not sure I want my lil furbaby to drink it. Lol.

Dakota has been having a lot of them, Aubrey doesn't.

We had this problem with Joey, even tried Missing Link and other dried beef products that supposedly would help. Finally, tried distilled water and within a week the problem cleared up. My husband sometimes gives him a drink of regular water and the next day his eyes are all stained again. Even a small amount such as a tablespoon of regular bottled water will cause the problem.

Purified water sometimes is the same as distilled water, but with some purified water they add the minerals back, which causes the problem. Check the lable to be sure. Minerals are added to water to improve the taste. Nothing is unsafe about distilled water it just doesn’t taste as good, but Joey doesn't seem to mind.

My Rajay has the same problem. I cleanse in the morning and at night, but I still get the red dye on the cotton swab. I refuse to give her anything with red dye anymore but she still has the rediness in the hair under the eye when I clean. I don't want to give her pills to clean this area and I will keep looking for natural remedies, starting tomorrow I will try the distilled water to see if that works. My new puppy Jayra does not have this problem, but he has not had any treats with red dye. I clean his eyes in the morning and it just sleep from the night. Good Luck

Yeah we have boggie eyes here too. I take a baby wash cloth and clean them out.

Lily has the same problem! I use Pet Gold Tear Stain Remover Wipes. They are small, effective, and affordable! I bought them at Petco.

distilled water will help with this as i have a maltese and no red stuff - alot is hereditary as well.

www.eyeenvy.com is great for this as well just buy the bottle and use a cotton pad to clean.

no red dyes or beet pulp in treats or food

It is bacteria that is coming out of the tear duct. You could use probiotics dds plus (acidopholus, biffidus and fos) as that is good bacteria killing bad bacteria in there gut as a lot of what they eat comes out through skin and other places. The healthier the gut the better the body.

many humans drink distilled water or spring water and it is good for you as well. No chemicals or minerals in it. I know a lot of very health conscious people that drink it. I give to my pups and no eye staining and i have a maltese too.

i take the boogers out with a flea comb, comes right out.. use a warm
wash cloth to soften it up if its too hard... we all get the eye boogers,
especially after sleeping
