Coat Staining.

[~*Shell*~]

Hi all,

This morning I woke up and Zero had brown patches on his face. At first i though he had a eye infection as it is the same colour as tear staining usually is (and the same colour the hair in his ear was when he had an ear infection) but on closer inspection, i think it might just be sap from one of the trees in our yard. He let me touch the area without a problem and his eye wasn't red at all (there were no cuts or scratches either so it wasn't blood). I cleaned as much of it off as possible (and i'll check again when i get home tonight to make sure that it's nothing) but he still has staining on the short hair on his face.

What's the best way to get rid of the staining? Is there a shampoo i can use on his face or maybe a home remedy I could use?

You could try Morning Fresh/Dawn dish detergent if it is sap, but obviously be careful around the eyes.

That's a good idea - someone said something about toothpaste too. I'll have to try both tonight and see what works.

Biozet is great too, but you would have to be ultra careful around the eyes. I use #1 All Systems Whitening and Brightening Shampoo for cleaning whites, does a lovely job.
