How to clean bulldog’s between wrinkle on her nose and watery eye?
I have 1.5 year old English female bulldog. She has a lot of Wrinkles on her face which is good but it smells sometimes. I clean her wrinkle everyday with clean dry tissue. Some say mixture of water and vinegar is the best. Her left eye is always watery and tear comes up all the time. Doctor said her skin is very loose that’s why it bugs her eye, recommended a skin-cut surgery.Does any body help me to solve this issue?
A lot of bulldogs do end up needing a "facelift" so that they stop getting chronic yeast infections. And if the skin fold is rubbing against her eye, then you really need to get that done – her eye will start to scar if the skin and fur keep rubbing on it.
And if the "looseness" means that her eyelid is loose and baggy, then she does need an eyelift to help her eye – there isn’t any more you can do.
As for cleaning her skin, a dry tissue won’t do anything. You want something slightly acidic, like a vinegar solution, to help keep yeast (that’s what smells and makes red-brown stains inside the fold) from being able to grow. Your vet may sell a product called Malacetic Wipes – they are like baby wipes but they are formulated to help prevent yeast. They are perfect for smelly skin folds.
If your vet doesn’t have any other suggestions besides surgery for her eye, then you need to either do the surgery or take your bulldog to a veterinary ophthalmologist for a second opinion.

Baby wipes, but make sure your dog doesn’t get an eye infection like conjunctivitis as you will have to get medication from a vet to solve that.
I hope this has helped you.
Good luck.

If the wrinkles smell, it could be an infection starting.
There really is no ‘fix to the wrinkle’ problem. However I clean my bulldogs face with baby wipes, then a dry tissue daily and he seems to have a happy life. He doesn’t look all gooey and gross, keeping him clean and dry is a daily activity.
I also make it a habit to bathe my bulldog weekly, however I don’t use soap every week. I just spray him down, and massage his coat brushing him with a rubber brush to remove excess hair. During that time I also wash his face with warm water and a soft cloth. When I do bathe with soap I use baby shampoo. He loves it, his skin is so soft and never irritated and he smells great!
I try to avoid any surgery unless ultimately necessary.

Kind of tear stains I guess.
Natural remedies have also proven to be highly effective in cleansing common tear stains in your pet as well supporting overall visual health. Herbal remedies are safe and gentle to use on the eye area without any harmful side effects.
A combination of herbal ingredients such as Euphrasia officinalis (Eyebright), Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) and Matricaria recutita (German Chamomile) acts as a natural eye cleanser and tonic, soothes and supports healthy vision.
There are a number of things that you can do to prevent tear stains in your pet and maintain overall eye health:
Keep the area around the eyes clean by wiping tear stains away with a moist cloth and natural tear stain remover
Trim hair around the eye area to avoid eye irritation
Avoid exposing your pet to irritants such as pollen, plant seeds, toxins, chemicals, pollution and dust
Check your pet’s eyes regularly
Protect your pet’s eye carefully when using shampoo or applying flea repellents
Keep your pet’s head inside moving vehicles as foreign objects or substances may easily become lodged in the eye
Visit your vet annually for an eye examination
Keep your pet away from potentially dangerous situations such as fighting with other animals
