Give the conditioner a minute to soften the gunk and then massage the gunk gently with your finger to help loosen it from the hair and skin. Give it another minute to do it's work. Then, approach the area very gently with a fine tooth plastic comb. It should come right out. Keep in mind, the conditioner has oil in it. When it settles into the warmth of your dog's skin, it will probably travel to the eyes - so you owe it to your dog to remove every trace. Next: Use a dry facial tissue and pat the treated area to remove any residual conditioner around the dog's eye. Then apply a TINY bit of a mild/soap-free/tear-free cleanser to a paper towel dampened with warm water. Gently apply to the treated area and work it in with your fingers. Use additional warm & wet paper towels to remove the cleanser. Finish up with a dry one and provide an immediate treat. I have been doing this routine for years with "Fluffy Puppy" shampoo. Any oatmeal conditioner formulated for pets is fine for use around the tender eye area. Bio-Groom makes one and so does John Paul Pet (Paul Mitchell). Let us know how it worked for you! Emily,

She has had tear production testing and staining for ulcers. Came up neg. for ulcers and is at 0 production on tear ducts. We have been to the vet 5 times, cont. to repeat treatment that isn't working and vet belives it is chronic and she will have forever. Her eye is inflamed, clouded over and filled with mucous daily. She has taken cyclosporine, tacrolimus, art. tears, and some misc. things with no more than short term (3-4 days at most). Any natural suggestions colloidal silver, eye flushing solutions or anything that might give her relief?

My dog started scratching her face after a few hours so I took it off. Didn't seem to do much. Maybe I had the consistency wrong? How long does the cornstarch/peroxide solution have to stay there?
