Dog Tear Stain Remover

When I got my first puppy I never thought I would need dog tear stain remover.

But soon after I got my Maltese I started to see tear stains around her eyes and mouth. The stain was a reddish brown rusty color and it smelled awful.

I soon found out that Maltese dogs have a genetic predisposition called maltese tear stain and there is way to get rid of the tear stains. My vet said to try this product that would eliminate the bacteria and infection that was causing the tear staining.

All I can say is that it really worked. I had tried other methods that had not worked so I was a bit frustrated when I first started….but I gave it a shot and now my Maltese's face is clean, white and beautiful.

If you want to know the dog tear stain remover that worked so well for me, go to Maltese Eye Stain

Remove Dog's Tear stains

Please do not use Teramyacin on your dog for tear stains unless you have been instructed to do so by your dog's veterinarian. Teramyacin is an antibiotic and the proper use insturctions should have been included with the medication. If you have any questions on how to administer this medication to your pet, please consult your dog's veterinarian ASAP. If you were not instructed by your dog's vet to use Teramyacin to clear up the tear staining, please read on.

Tear staining is caused by excessive tearing. What cases the excessive tearing is what needs to be found out or the problem may always persist. (Note that antibiotics such as Teramyacin will only work temporarily, if at all, if an infection is not the true cause of your dog's excessive tearing.) When the area around the eyes stays moist due to excessive tearing, red yeast bacteria start to develop into the staining you see. The causes of excessive tearing can be many and varied, including but not limited to genetics, health, diet, fleas, bacterial infection, ear infections, cutting teeth (in puppies), irritation, high mineral content in the dog's drinking water, blocked tear ducts, etc. It is important that your dog's vet determine the cause(s) of the excessive tearing before directing you in any methods of trying to cure the problem. Until then, keeping the eye area wiped clean daily will help and you might even consider having your dog's groomer carefully shave the area so as to prevent excessive red yeast bacteria build-up.
