Other Medications
Tried other remedies to stop tear staining and none work? Here are a few more solutions to Maltese eye stain.
TUMS
Giving your Maltese 1/2 of Fruit flavored Tums
twice a day by mouth can help reduce tear staining. This changes the pH of tears and
makes the environment hostile for the continued growth of yeast and bacteria.
The active ingredient is calcium carbonate, so any other
brand with 500 mg of calcium carbonate works well.
Colloidal Silver
This is a product that is placed in the eyes and works much like an antibiotic.
Colloidal Silver
is a natural antibiotic. I have not personally used it but know of others who swear by this. Put one to two drops into each eye daily.
Angel Eyes
This is a powder you add to your dog's food, similar to
Missing Link. It takes awhile to completely remove Maltese eyestain (about 3-5 weeks).
You also must continue to use
Angels Eyes
regularly to keep tear stains away, but many dog owners believe it is well worth it and easy to use.
