Sammy had very minimal tear stains when I brought him home. They have gotten SO bad in the 1 1/2 years he has lived here. He is a very white toy poodle. He frequently uses his right paw/arm to rub his eyes - so I'm thinking maybe a eye specialist? My generic vet says his eyes/lashes etc. are fine.
Sammy is in a situation where he lives with another dog now and I noticed rough play increases his eye discharge. I am also going to work now, so he is confined to a room ( for his safety ) and when I return, he gets SO overly excited, which increases the fluid from his eyes.
I wash his face at least 2 times a day. It does help. I will not put him on meds for a cosmetic isuue, but I'd really like for these stains to go away.
Both his vet and his groomer basically told me that I have a white toy poodle and there is nothing that can be done, because he is a white toy poodle, so I have to live with it. i'm fine with "living with it", but would prefer not to.
If you have any tips/tricks that are safe, I'd love to hear them.
