Alright i know there was a board on this a while back but i couldnt find it so i just made a new one anyways sunnys left eye dosnt really stain at all i dont even use anything on it anymore but it right eye is just awful and i clean it about once a day to try and keep the staining down any idea why this is happening? he is still kinda teething so i expect it to go down and little but its just weird and he looks so funny with half is face white and half is face brown
Could be his teeth. When Lace was teething her left eye would tear but the right didn't. Vet told me after she pulled the baby teeth that Lacey had a couple of baby teeth that were pushing up against the adult teeth. Said it proberly felt like a constant toothache. Lacey also ate much better. She is a little piggy now. Took her to the vet the other day and she said that Lacey could lose a little weight...take her off the puppy food. Have your vet check him out, could be an ear infection, or his teeth, or even some hair poking him in the eye. Good luck.
it could be related to the teething or can be the conformation of your pup..could have a blocked tear duct too....just wipe it everyday with a moist cloth and maybe after the teething is done it will stop
Alright well i am not going to make a spceial trip to the vet for it and proubly wont make any drastice changes in how i clean him up until after he is done teething but i do need to get him to the vet to get neutered (i should be getting it done like next week but we are going out of town for christmas so i am putting it off until after)so i will mention it to the vet then

If it doesn't resolve after teething is over, I would see an ophthalmologist to rule out one of the many common eye problem in Maltese. Besides blocked tear ducts, some Maltese have a small bit of tissue covering the lower tear duct opening that doesn't open when their eyes open. If caught early, it can easily be fixed. Also, Maltese are prone to problems like distichiasis and entropion. This can be in one eye, especially distichiasis. Your regular vet may not see the fine lashes or subtle problem on a routine exam.
i dont know if you've seen my posts before. but sprite and ellie used to stain really really bad till we got them on homecooked diets. the difference is amazing. i have a dogster page of sprite. you can see what she looked like before and after. i hope you find out whats wrong with lilly.
Thanks Denise&Chico Sunny isnt so good about having is photo taken glad to know some of them came out good

Hello, Everyone!
I have heard mixed info in how many baths a Maltese should have. Some say every week, some every 15 days, others monthy. Also, some people say that frequent baths is actually not good for the coat (which is the aproach I took towards my Samoyed and, sincerely, he doesn't stink...
Pipper has a grooming appointment Tuesday. This will be the first time at the groomer since the pandemic started. I'm a little nervous because I haven't been anywhere around other people. I get groceries online and pick them up curbside and same with anything else I need. Only place I go...
My Maltese Gianni has very dense, thick, wavy hair. Since a baby he has been impossible to groom. Jumping, twisting and biting, so he goes to groomer every three months. In these troubling times, all groomers are closed. Right now his hair is badly matted. Going to attempt with clippers today...
When people say they wrap their Maltese in rice paper, is that the rice paper we can buy at Asian market? The ones to make spring rolls?
Also, can a Maltese be kept on a long coat without having its fur wrapped?
