Do I just rub it into the hair or should I use a cotton ball or make-up brush or something??

And I am washing her face at night...should I do it in the morning instead??

I do it in the morning after she eats.....you can do it whenever is best for you.

I didn't have tear staining with Rocky but Tuck does have it. He came to me with tear staining, I wash with spa lavish but not daily. Spa lavish does fade his tear stains though very slightly. There are so many things that can cause it...

Sometimes it's allergies but that's unlikely seeing as how young she is-most allergies are developed over a long while being exposed to the exact same foodstuff type things. Sometimes it's due to mineral content in water, we give our dogs purified water-some swear by distilled water.

Sometimes it's caused by teething-that, I think is part of Tucker's issue, the other part is that his topknot was long and always messy (house full of boys *sigh*) and always in his eyes.

Sometimes it's blocked tear ducts, sometimes it's eyelashes growing the wrong way. There are just so many things that can cause it. If she has another vet trip soon you can discuss it with your vet, just so maybe he/she can take a close look at her eyes and make sure there isn't something there that is causing it, then you will know its most likely due to teething, and go from there.

I not only cut off Tuck's topknot, but I trimmed the hair around his eyes to keep it from always poking him in the eye.

Tell me if I'm wrong, please...

I thought that once the hair is stained, it's about impossible to get those stains out completely (without bleaching - which I won't do) and the best thing to do is trim the hair maybe after teething and in the meantime, try to keep it clean and do what you can to prevent more stains. Or do I have this wrong?
