Hello, I am totally new, not only to the peke breed, but to dogs in geeneral. I just adopted a small female pekingese I found abandonned on the street and I am trying to put myself up to speed with anything related to the breed. WHen I say small I mean that, althought she is an adult, she is smaller than normal (weights some 7.5 lbs). The vet could not establish her age due the bad condition of her teeth, but she could be anywhere between 3 to 6 years old (another vet I consulted was more of the oppinion that she was below 4 years old...).

I am starting to undertand her eating habbits and she now responds to her new name: Tracy. She has an adorable personality and enjoys long walks in the park. Amazing how such a small creature can keep such a fast pace for so long!!! Anyway, the concern I have is that she has very dark circles around her eyes. The vet told me that the tears stain the hairs around the eyes and that they should be cleaned frequently to avoid problems with the skin. He recommended me a product called Diamond Eye, that I have been applying for 2 weeks now, 2-3 times a day. The dark hair is still there, giving my little Tracy such a sad look!. WHat can I do to fix this? what is the real problem?

Thanks a lot for your advice!!! Happy New Year

but it I went to the Vet and he could not tell the age of the dogs
