Dear Dogs
Today,
I wondered
if anyone could help with the problem of staining on my white Shih Tzu and
Bichon. Both are rescue dogs who previously spent their lives in puppy farms,
forced to have endless litters. They lived in squalor and on a very poor diet.
They are
both about seven years old, and are now happy, healthy, and much loved. Bibi,
the Bichon, has very mild staining around her eyes and mouth, but Bindi, the
white Shih Tzu, suffers badly.
I’ve had her
tear ducts checked and they are not blocked. I also bathe their eyes every day
in warm water and try to keep the fur around affected areas as short as
possible.
I have tried
different food and avoid anything with colouring, preservatives etc. I’m
currently feeding Trophy Holistic dry food mixed with a small spoonful of tuna
or chicken, Tesco dental chews and white rawhide knots, plus a little fruit and
veg. they love pears, carrots and broccoli stalks to munch on.
Any advice
would be much appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Helen
