TEARSTAIN RESULTS: An Opthamologist Speaks

In a recent presentation to Tucson pet groomers, Dr. Reuben Merideth, a renowned animal opthamologist stated that the only products he has witnessed as being consistently effective at clearing up severe tear staining were the tylosin based products, such as Angels' Eyes [and Pets' Spark]. To the question of whether or not there were risks associated with the use of tylosin or the possibility of creating a resistence to therapeutic antibiotics, he said, "The minute amount of antibiotic in these products is so far less than the therapeutic dose that there should be no development of resistence." He views this as a safe and effective approach to the problem.

Dr. Merideth is no ordinary veterinarian. He is at the top of his field, having published dozens of articles and contributed chapters to five veterinary textbooks. A Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Opthalmologists (DACVO), as well as a DVM, Dr. Merideth practices at the Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center in Tucson, Arizona, as well as in Phoenix, Arizona and in Kansas City, Kansas.

The presentation was part of a series of lectures being offered by practicing veterinary specialists to the Tucson grooming community. This outreach from the veterinary community is in recognition that pet groomers are the pet care professionals that have the most hands on contact with many pets, and are often the first to become aware of many medical problems. The lectures help groomers have a knowledgeable basis for referring clients for medical consultation.
