For those with little dogs and watery / stained eyes.

What does your Dr. say about it ?

Re: For those with little dogs and watery / stained eyes.

Well, my little guy doesn't seem to have the 'tear stains' yet, (is that what you're talking about?), but when I first got him, I got the eye wipes at Petco, to prevent the staining around the eyes from occurring. (My white poodle when I was a kid used to have tear stains.) I just try to keep the area clean, and 'eye booger free' -hehe. He's been fine so far.

well, shes a white chihuahua, and her tears arent usually black like a poodle or maltese, theyre light brown, and im pretty lucky she doesnt have any stains, but i am ALWAYS cleaning her eyes anyway. thats the reaosn why ill never get a dog that commonly has those stains.

My mom gets the eye pads from Dr. Fosters & Smith catalogue for her Japanese Chin

thank you for the responses, my pups last Dr. said not to worry about it, just keep the hair short by his eyes and clean it with the pads to prevent the yeast bacteria. I have a shih tzu and then we moved and took him to a local vet and he scared me - he said it should NEVER stain like that, gave me oinment to put IN his eyes (not drops, thick oinment) and he has no idea why the last Dr. ignored this, and it is bacteria.
