Does anybody else YOrkie have eye Buggers constantly. My Yorkie has eye buggers everyday. It looks kinda siimy sometimes. And majority of the time it is hard. Is that normal.

I was about to call my breeder on this topic!
My yorkie has the same thing. It's always there and then at times, it hardens up before I ever get to wiping it off so now there's a clump of hardended eyebooger on each eye and I tried almost everything to get it off.. I used soap, I tried slowly taking it off with a warm washcloth and it just won't go away! The only alternative I have is to trim it off with some scissors but I don't know if I should do that on his face.

I am able to clean up the area with a flea comb. I soak it in hot water first so it is able to slide right out. It even stains corner of his eyes. I was just wondering if this was normal. I am going to take him to the Vet on Monday. I will ask them if this is normal also.

Tia has this too, EVERY DAY! I asked about it when I took her to the vet the first time and he said it was totally normal. Every morning I get a warm, wet washcloth and a flea comb and clean them out. Some mornings are worse than others, but the boogers are always there

Ew.

Biggie just has runny eyes. Several of my friends with Yorkies find that they get crusty eye boogers that can simply be 'plucked' away. Biggie's eyes don't do that; they just seem to be really gooey all the time. I have shaved the hair on his face back, which helps a bit....I then heard that shaving the hair on their faces is bad??. Anyhow, I also have heard about a small operation that can be done on their tear ducts which really helps the problem. Does anyone know about this operation??

Freyja has "cruddy eyes" almost every day. I use a moistened cotton ball to soften it up and remove it with a fine toothed comb.

JeanieK · 03-20-2007, 11:09 AM

That's very commion it's because of those tiny hairs that pokie them in the eye.

Just get into the habit of wiping with a damp cloth or cotton ball every day. If they do harden, you can wet them and then comb them out.

I use the same thing. I soak a cotton ball in warm water, wet the area then use a flea comb to get all the crust out. A flea comb is a very, very, fine tooth comb. Works great for me.

I do the same exact thing!!

and I agree with the poster above you, it is most likely the little hairs poking them in their eye which leads to excessive watering to the eyes... just do what fourdez does... 100% cotton ball soakedd with hot water, and dry it up with a lil towel or whatever you would like

I then comb it out too....with a tiny comb so it doesn't dry up into one, like to keep them apart.

Ozzie'sperson · 03-21-2007, 01:44 PM

Yep. It's part of Ozzie's

nightly wipe-down and comb ritual. Sometimes he is really good about letting me get them out. Other times, I need assistance.

Bizzymammabee · 03-21-2007, 01:50 PM

Lex used to get that a lot but it was from the baby hairs poking him in the eye so although I would love to let it all grow out so I can just part it that is not in the cards for his comfort. So I just trim the hair between his eyes and no more boogies.

Same with Percy! Everynight, he gets a wipe down and a combing. He hates hates hates having his face done, especially his eyes.

I was really worried about the eye stuff too, I thought he had a cold at first. But, vet said it was normal.

Here's the checklist:

I'm planning to buy this product to help with Gigi's breath. She lost her bottom milk teeth and her foul breath has decreased by 50%. She does have a tearing issue and ear issue that I hope this product will do the job.
