Weepy eye cleaning
Nahkohe eyes get 'weepy'. Most of you probably know what I'm referring to - it isn't entropian (confirmed by his vet) - I have drops that I give him to help with the weeping but it won't "cure" it. Because Nahkohe is a cream, the weeping leaves a very noticible (sp?) brownish stain - mostly on the right eye side. Because it's so close to his eye, I'm weary of using anything other than a wet water towel to try and clean it. It doesn't do a very good job. Does anyone have a suggestion for a safe solution to clean this stain on his fur so close to the eye?

Re: Weepy eye cleaning
I use sterile isotonic buffered eye wash on Miss PB. I buy it at CVS or Walgreens in the eye section. It's a boric acid solution for human eyes. I also have an Herbal Eye Wash made by Halo. I bought it at PetCo. It's a bit pricey. But I got it on sale and might be able to get you a box on sale price if you want (regular price $29, sale price is $5.00).

Hi Karen, I feel your pain. Millie is just the same & it looks so ugly against that cream fur. I've has a lot of sucess with the top two products on this page http://k9rawdiet.com/Ear-and-Eye-Cleaners-c-27.html (Mindy's website) I use the pads mostly. Hope that helps
Thank you Elodie!

Re: Weepy eye cleaning
i use a product called show eyes, it works really good, cleans up the stains and the bacteria that can grow there. It also cleans up saliva stains on their chins. It's made by Doctors Foster&Smith. Works really well.

Re: Weepy eye cleaning
I use a sort of baby eye wipe. Holly is very good, she closes her eye when I do it and I just gently wipe down and away from the eye. Been doing it for over 6 years and no problems, plus very clean and easy.
