Yes, you can moisten a cotton ball and carefully wipe the area. Be very careful to avoid her eyes. To minimize tear staining, feed a quality diet. Additives and low quality ingredients may cause allergic reactions which can lead to excess tearing. "Hard" water or water with high mineral content can also lead to tear staining. Offer filtered or bottled water instead. Keep her eyes and face as dry as you can. Consider adding a veterinary probiotic or some organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to her diet. Either are thought to help minimize staining.
