red tear stains
Submitted by Jewels on June 3, 2010 - 11:34pmWe took our Bulldog camping for the first time, and all seemed well until the last day. She woke up with Red tear stains down both folds! I did her folds the day before and all was well. What can I use to get rid of it. She shows in two weeks!!
I found that MOM/peroxide worked the fastest
To get rid of the stains. Here's the formula:
Use equal volume of MOM (plain white) and peroxide, and then use the corn starch to make a good paste of this; put on and work well into the stained area and let dry 4 hours. Wash out, CONDITION WELL. Keep doing this for several days until tear staining is gone, although I would recommend skipping a day or two between applications if possible. Apply a thin coat of desitan diaper rash ointment after the area is washed out and dry. Try this every other day if possible and the choice way of doing it. If your dog has heavy stains then do this for 3 days in a row, then skip every other day.
I applied the paste with a Q-tip.
Good luck in the show!
