They just come up out of nowhere!!! Ari did not have them when I got him and bam now he has them 3 mos later!!

I wash his face everyday, use solution (Renu) on his eyes, started Angel eyes 3 weeks ago and he looks worse than he did before!!! I feed him buffalo blue.. I use bottled water..

What am I missing ?

Is he teething? That may be the cause. Also, if you aren't already, use stainless steel or ceramic bowls because the plastic ones can harbor bacteria and cause staining.

I would ask your vet what you could do or take him to an ophthalmologist to see if his tear ducts are blocked...sometimes they need to be flushed!
