Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the reviews and ordered this product for my two Bichons. They weren't wild about the taste, but I got them to eat it - and it did work. Within a week the tear staining was much diminished, and after two weeks was gone entirely. But then I noticed both dogs were developing diarhea. and seemed "off" - eating grass, throwing up, not eating as well, etc. More research and I discovered that this product contains Tylosin, which is actually a low grade antibiotic. NOT GOOD! Had I known that I was feeding an antibiotic on a daily basis, I NEVER would have purchased this product - and I certainly would not have purchased the large size for continued usage. I have since found out that in many cases, you can feed 1/2 of a Tums (500 mg calcium carbonate) twice daily or add 1 teaspoon vinegar to their water. I tried the vinegar and they wouldn't drink, so now I am using the Tums, with eqaully good results. I would caution anyone with the tear staining problem to talk to their vet and treat this product with caution. I give it one star because it contains an antibiotic which is not explained - the average layman would not know what Tylosin is.
