Q. What causes tear stains?
A. Veterinary eye specialists believe that the main cause of tear stain is excess tearing. When the fur around the eyes gets damp from excess tearing it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. One of the most common yeast infections is Ptyrosporin, which is also known as Red Yeast. This causes a deep reddish-brown stain and slight odour. Low grade bacterial infections in the tear ducts are also common and may cause excess tearing and staining.
Q. Does Rufus & Coco Tear Stain Away contain antibiotics?
A. No. A steady dose of antibiotics does help reduce tear stains, but the downside to long term use of antibiotics is that your pet may build a resistance overtime, which could negate the effect of other antibiotics they need to take if they are sick or injured. Short-term, they may be effective, but over time, your pet will build up a resistance, making the tear staining worse in the long term. Our thought is why give a drug to an animal for a cosmetic reason (tear stains), if there is a topical product which will do the same trick – Rufus & Coco Tear Stain Away!
