Tear Stains

My eyes leak-alot. We have tried Benadryl to stop it but it only seems to make me sleepy. The vet says that is just the way I am.

Mom wanted to know if anyone knows of anything or has any suggestions of something I can take or can be added to my food that might make my leaky tears not stain my face so much. Mom tries to keep them wiped off, eventhough I hate that. She also knows there are products on the market that can help remove the staining.

Good ole' peroxide will do this, be VERY careful not to get it into the dogs eyes. Use a Q-Tip to apply it to the stained area 1-2 times and day.

What she is looking for is something that will make the tears not stain my hair. You know, treat the problem from the inside. When she used to groom an old groomer lady said antacids given everyday will stop it. I will eat just about anything so she has started that but wanted to know if anyone had any luck with anything.

Thanks for your suggestions!
