    Where did you hear this tetracycline is a anti-biotic and the side effects are a rotting of teeth and bones if used for prolonged periods of time in humans and animals has no effect on tears or stains Gorbalizer

    I’ve used tetracycline to prevent and fight infections in many of the dogs i’ve owned. I’ve heard some theories that you can just sprinkle the powder on the spots or areas of need but this is not the case. I usually put the powder in a syringe with the needle removed and mix it with water then spray it down my dogs throats. The pill itself has a bad taste and smell that dogs do not like so they won’t eat it normally. The peanut butter trick doesn’t always work with powdered pills. I’ve used it for ear infections, hot spots and cuts and scrapes anywhere on their feet or belly area. Not sure exactly how it works for tear stains but if you want to prevent an infection or help with adjustment to specific environments, it works great. Hope it helped.

    Hey, I just talked to my dad and uncle, both vets, and they say you can sprinkle some of the powder onto the area. You rub it in slightly and it should work. So, i guess it does work.

    Tetracycline can be used to get rid of tear stains. Most put the dog on a ten day course of antibiotics and the straining will go away. As soon as the antibiotic works out of the system, it will come right back so it’s really just a quick, short fix. A lot of breeders use it when getting ready for shows, but it’s not for long term use. It’s better to just keep the area as clean and dry as possible. I’ve seen many recipes online or tear stain removers that include lots of things like Milk of Magnesia, TUMS, white vinegar, human hair bleach (NOT recommended), hydrogen peroxide, etc…. this list goes on.

    My vet says that only show dogs should be on daily tetracycline. I have an alternative that actually works.
    Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide (from first aid aisle) and milk of magnesia. Then add corn starch until it makes a paste.
    Put this on the tear stains at night before bed and wipe it off in the morning.
    It actually works! Our groomer suggested it. We use it on Bichon Frises and I’m going to start using it on my English Bulldog puppy.
