Hi Marilyn, This article about tear staining by a Maltese Breeder called TEAR STAINING: CAUSES & CURES should answer all of your questions about the method that Susan is using. When I need to bleach, I use the bleaching method she describes using 40 vol. peroxide, Phillips Milk Of Magnesia (I use the brand name product) and cornstarch. It works very well. I have also used TYLAN Powder as she suggests to prevent the staining from occurring and this reduces the staining very significantly (it will also work on staining around the mouth on foreheads and on the feet). My vet, who is extremely conservative, assures me this is completely safe. Without further adieu here is the web site: http://www.bhejei.com/tearsta.htm BTW, you can puchase TYLAN Powder, at the best price I've found, through KV VET (Pg 16. of their Pet Catalog). You call call them at 1-800-423-8211 for a catalog or visit their web site at http://www.kvvet.com All orders over $40.00 are shipped free of charge and there is no sales tax. I hope this helps you. Best, Susan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
