For Severe Staining
Stain removal and eye packing powder:
- Combine two tablespoons calcium carbonate,powder with two and half tablespoons boric acid powder.
- When ready to use, take a small amount of powder and add 3% peroxide to make a paste.
- Carefully apply to stained fur.
- When the proportions are correct, the paste coats the hair but does not flow to the skin.
- Let dry, then brush off with a small eyebrow brush.
CAUTION
Use the stain removal paste *ONLY* rarely and only for extremely stubborn stains after initially cleansing the area.
The cause of staining must be identified first and controlled. Brown tears can be cleared up with oral antibiotics.
Do not apply close to the eye or anus, only on cheeks and chin or fur on the back of the legs if those are stained.
Do *not* apply to dark or tipped fur - it does bleach!
