Did Tylan not work for you? - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**nekkidfish** · 09-07-2010, 07:23 PM

Now that Poppy has all of his adult teeth, I did a 15-day treatment of Tylan ... a pinch each morning in his food.

But, it has not stopped the staining, especially from his right eye.

If Tylan did not work for you, did you try another product? If so, which one, and did it work?

I would really like for Poppy to have a white face for his 1st Birthday and our trip home for the holidays. I know it is only cosmetic, but I'd really like to have a white face baby.

Thanks and HUGz! Jules

Oh come on ... I know some of you have tried Angel Eyes or other products, but haven't spoke up!

Go ahead ... if anyone bashes you ... I'll beat um away with a stick!

I just thought Tylan was supposed to always work, but it didn't for us. Or, maybe I should try another 15-day dose?

Jules, have you had Poppy's tear ducts checked, maybe the tear duct to the right eye is clogged. I had a problem with Riley staining very badly last year and nothing was working and when he got his teeth cleaned i had the vet check his tear ducts and they both needed to be flushed and his staining was non existant until we had to go out of town for a family emergency. We are back to using the tylan again. I hope that helps.

I tried Angel Eyes, but decided it wasn't a good idea to give him an antibiotic every day. When I changed his food to Acana Prairie the stains went away. I also clean his eyes every day.

Tylan kills the secondary bacterial infection. Unless bacterial infection alone was the problem, tylan will not solve underlying issues like allergies or structural eye abnormalities.

I used a round of Tylan on Preston but it didn't work. I thought for sure it would work on him.

The only thing that has helped has been....NOTHING. lol As both London & Preston have gotten older, their staining has improved. Preston hardly has any at all anymore, and London's is basically all gone.

We tried Tylan prescribed by the vet several months ago, I think just after Tyler's first birthday. Didn't do a thing. We wash the area with Lavish Spa, use drops with boric acid in his eyes and also use Eye Envy which is a topical cleaner. I know there are people who don't like it because they don't know what's in it but it's worked best for us. I put just about two drops of it on a toothbrush and brush the hair that's stained. It has lessened it the best and kept it cleaner and I also put a little powder after which I'm sure is probably corn starch. I think Tyler's main problem is that he has a lot of really tiny hairs growing around his eyes -- very tiny and squiggly and they get in his eyes and cause them to tear. Either that or tear duct problems and I'm not ready to put him under for that. Will probably wait for his first dental. That's my story and I'm sticking to it Jules

I am also curious about the responses that you will get. Sophia has terrible staining right now. I have tried the spa lavish facial scrub on her daily to no avail. Her vet said that he would try the Tylan on her before I took her to an eye specialist. I don't know that I would even go for a surgical procedure if they told me that it was necessary to stop the staining because I am so terrified about having her put under.
