I've never seen a difference between round and almond eyes. In yorkies, who have almond eyes
you will often see staining although it's not as noticable due to their hair color.
Clindamyacin should help
since it's an antibiotic (as is tylosin) closely related to lincosin. Tylan is easier to keep on hand as it's a powder and can store indefinitely, also without a prescription. The yeast that develops due to the overspill of tears making
a moist area for the yeast to grow is certainly contagious. It can help to keep the face clean and
dry until treatment begins working. An eye wash helps too. Fresh Eyes Collyrium twice a day works well.
