Maltese Red Around Eyes. I would like to treat in a healthy answered by a verified dog specialist that s good advise but please address this tylan powder that is i guess a food additive and i believe an antibiotic. It occurs in other breeds as well but with the white face does make it show up more in the maltese.
While all dogs tear up to clean their eyes the white fur of the maltese makes the staining very stark. While maltese on the whole are considered to be a breed with a relatively low incidence of eye problems there are diseases that may arise during a dog s lifetime. My maltipoo has draining eyes and red stains around the eyes that i can t remove.
Maltese dogs are small and white so tear staining the residue left by water running from the eyes is especially noticeable.
Tear staining tear staining is a common problem in maltese. Some of the factors which are responsible for producing the yellow staining that you see around a maltese dogs eye area also contribute the yellow staining which can often occur on other areas of the maltese dogs face. The stains may be red pink or brown and they give the dog an unhealthy unclean look. Keeping eye stains off of maltese dogs requires frequent trimming and cleaning around the eyes.
