Through the years, I have seen this (a lot) on solid blacks. I keep Goodwinol ointment and put it around the eyes--it clears up within a couple weeks. Penny in NY Does anyone have any ideas as to why the hair around the eyes would do this and if there is something we could put around the eyes to help the hair grow back? Our vet is not concerned but we are. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gail Gail J.
