I would really avoid surgery, just to much could go wrong.
I wish you and your baby the best.

Have a Merry Christmas!

I keep putting off Bella's spay because I am afraid. I will do it but dread it.

I have two maltese, too. As long as I comb out the hair by their eyes every day, they seem to be ok. I have also heard that giving them distilled water to drink can help. There is also something called fresh fur gel that a neighbor of mine used on her maltese.

Good luck, but I wouldn't do surgery. That would be putting your dog in unecessary pain, IMO.

Have you tried Tylan? I know a lot of Maltese people swear by it. It's an antibiotic, but apparently it has a low risk of building up antibiotic resistance. I've seen some pretty amazing before and after pictures with it.

I'd try it before surgery.

ItsyBitsy · 12-14-2007, 06:18 AM

Yeah, I would try products with Tylan in it (Angel Eyes I think is one) before I would resort to surgery.

I have a Maltese/Yorkie and lately her eyes have been staining a lot more, but she's 5.5 months, so I think it's due to the teething stage. If at 8 months or so, if she's still staining badly, I probably will do the Tylan thing.

I don't have any advice,I just wanted to ask what does Nohea mean? Seems I have heard you say that.

Yorkiekids · 12-14-2007, 10:04 AM

I would think surgery would be the last thing I tried. I'd ask the vets for some other suggestions.

If I was to do a surgery like that, I'd have a specialist do it. If it's what you want to do, then do it.
