Here is an excerpt from what someone told me about eye stains in Persian cats. I have not tried this but thought it was interesting. I hadn't heard about this before, but maybe it will help some of you looking for solutions. Have any of you heard of this?
<I use a very soft thin baby washcloth dipped in warm water (no soap!) to cleanse the inner corners of his eyes and the "muzzle furrows" that are those crevices from his eyes down past his nose. Then I apply a topical antibiotic cream called "Tritop" (available by prescription from your vet) along and into the furrows. Tritop is like "Neosporin Plus" for humans. It has an analgesic (pain-killer) along with its' antibiotic properties, so it helps soothe any irritated skin in this sensitive area. After this treatment, which I do once or twice a week, as needed, the ointment dissolves in and disappears within a couple of hours, and Silver has no dark eye-staining material left at all! Before the vet prescribed the Tritop, the warm clean (no soap!) washcloth helped reduce the brown staining, but didn't get rid of all of it, and poor fella, sometimes Silver's tear duct and furrow areas were so raw that he had hair loss along the region. So I'm really glad to have been prescribed the Tritop by the vet. It's in a small tube that's about $15 but it lasts for about 2-3 months, which seems reasonable for the benefit it provides. Silver himself seems relieved to no longer have itching and discomfort in the eye and "muzzle" area.> Carol Richards [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/carolscavaliers/ "My little dog, a heartbeat at my feet."
