This is a good general eye wash: ( http://www.allivet.com/p-8131-vetericyn-plus-eye-wash-3-oz.aspx ) For tear staining I recommend Angel Eyes products. They seem to work the best. ( https://angelseyesonline.com/products/ ) Hope this helps. Great question!

Tito is a cute little guy! You can’t really pick at that or rub at it at all. You can use a plain, saline eye wash to flush that out as best you can. However, this amount of a film is a sign that your dog’s dry eye is not controlled. I would increase your eye lube to three times daily and use a brand like Genteal Gel Severe (or generic equivelent). Having your dog’s tear production rechecked would be a good idea. There are a few different options like Cyclosporine or Tacrolimus and some work better for different dogs.

I really like Virbac's line of dermatologic products, and their Epi-Otic is a great all-purpose ear cleanser for dogs. It is available over the counter, and you can order it from DrsFosterandSmith.com or Amazon.

This can be used to clean Toodie's eyes temporarily. Ideally, she should be examined by your veterinarian or a veterinary ophthalmologist to diagnose the underlying cause of the weeping. This can be infection, injury, obstructed tear ducts or little hairs rubbing against her corneas.

I am so sorry to hear that Kaimana is experiencing these problems with her eye. Start by placing an e-collar or cone on Kaimana to prevent scratching or rubbing. If the eye is injured, inflamed or infected it is likely painful, this will prompt Her to scratch or rub her eye. However, this could inflict further damage, infection or even an ulceration. An rlceration is a tear in the top layer of the eye and is a serious condition. Because eye concerns with dogs, such as infections, corneal ulcerations, cataracts and glaucoma, can progress rapidly I would have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the issue immediately. The precise medication can then be dispensed by your veterinarian. Your vet will use a special tear stain drop to visualise the eye and the top layer to make are there are no ulcerations, and check for other conditions before prescribing medications. Please do not attempt to treat an eye infection at home with any over the counter medications, drops or ointments. This can lead to permanent damage and unnecessary pain or discomfort. I hope this answer was helpful and that Kaimana feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both!
