How to Get Tear Stains Off Pomeranians

Pomeranian dogs consistently have problems with teary excretions that cause crust and dark spots to form under their eyes. These tear stains can be removed by regular cleaning and by providing an antibiotic called Tylan powder. Tylan powder affects the immune system and inhibits the secretion of protein, which lessens your Pomeranian's tearing and tear stains.

      Create a solution of equal parts milk of magnesia and peroxide. Add a teaspoon of cornstarch to create a paste. Apply this solution to the tear stains and let it sit overnight. Rinse in the morning. Use this solution nightly for three nights to remove existing stains.
