"Our white cat has a leaky eye and is so good about letting me clean it. I first use warm compresses on it with a gentle rub and then put this solution on a cloth to apply it. It covers the yellow stain. I need to do this every day and am thrilled with the way it cleans and covers the stain."

"I’ve applied this almost every day since receipt. It doesn’t appear to be doing much."
