Tear Stains

Update on tear staining 
Here is what I posted a few years ago and at the time I thought I was giving good advice as the product mentioned did work;
To all of you following the pictures of my Westies I thought I would include some info on tear staining and what causes it. The following link is an advertisement for one of the products my vet suggested www.angelsglow.com Try to ignore the sales hype and click on frequently asked questions the info is good.
I have tried a couple of topical product but find them ineffective. I started using this product today but if it works it takes time. My vet seemed convinced that in my puppies case the cause is stress related suggesting I might have mixed the two litters together a little too soon as I did it just as they were starting to wean and cutting teeth. At any rate the problem should correct itself after they settle in their new homes long enough for new hair to grow in to replaced the stained hair.


Here are my current thoughts;
I no longer support the product mentioned above and all products that contain the antibiotic tylosin. Yes they do work but these products have been outlawed in the UK for several reasons.
I still have found no topical product to be anymore effective than washing faces everyday with warm water ( I use kangen water with a ph of 6), a little tearless shampoo, and drying completely with a little cornstarch to take away the last of the moisture, for internal use a natural product called Tearlax, and finally lots of love and chew toys to keep them calm and happy during weaning and teething as stress can cause an increase in tearing.
