Hmmm... really?
Because tetracycline is a kind of antibiotic that is notorious for staining teeth & bones in humans.... so that really suprises me that it would be recommended to whiten eye stains in dogs fur.
I would try something different, maybe milk of magnesia & peroxide....something more natural.
If you insist on using tetracycline, please be very careful.
Good Luck!

BE CAREFUL! The general rule of thumb for cleaning eye stains is never put anything on your dog's face that you wouldn't want on yours. I am not sure about your dogs, but I have had some luck with a mixture of milk of magnesia and hydrogen peroxide thickened with flour. Good Luck!

I have a maltese and it does work, but it won't last. Many people have many different solutions to the tear stain problem. One of the easier ones is to put a tablespoon of vinegar in the drinking water - I've heard that works well. I've given up on my dog. It seems like nothing will make them go away for good.
