| sometimes I use some vasoline to try and soften them up a little and then keep trying to break them up.

| I check the eyes everyday. If there are any there I just pick them off with my fingernail with no problem. |

| HI, Eye burgers have to be done daily here, All 4 of mine get it done first thing when they wake up, I use baby wipes, johnson & johnson if they are bad, other wise just a wipe with your finger should work. good luck

| I usually pick them off with my fingernails. Even the hardest ones I've managed to pick up. I usually take the hard ones off when she's out of the shower, or when she doesnt need a shower, I use a soaked cotton ball or soak it down, then I use my fingernails. |

| I use a plastic fine tooth comb to get them out. If they are soaked with water, i.e. after a bath, they are a breeze to comb out. PS. I LOVE AC!!!! I'm going in two weeks!! Yippee!!!

| I use a flea comb also...I've never had to cut them out. A baby wipe or moistened cotton ball should work also...just wash them away.

| I wet a cotton ball and wipe the boogies a few times. Let it sit for a minute or two, then use a flea comb and they come right off

| We don't seem to have too much of a problem with them, but usually just some warm water and they pull (gently) right out. If they're extra tough, I just keep rewetting them with warm water and they soften back up (kind of a gross conversation, huh?). Reggie doesn't like his eyes messed with at all (he's a Shi Tzu, so he's quite protective of his eyes) but Coby seems to like getting them out, so he's pretty good about it.
