My dog's dry eye medicine makes her eyes crusty. How can I clean them?

Question

My dog has dry eye and gets tacrolimus ointment.03% 2X a day. In the morning her eye is crusty from the residue. It is difficult for her as I clean her eye Tim with a soft cloth and water. Is there a product I can use that would not be as crusty? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 20 lbs

Moistened cotton balls and make up applicators are good products to clean the eyes out. Many dogs with dry eye benefit from using a daily lubricating drop 3 to 4 times a day as well. I recommend to discuss adding this into the regiment with your veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
