  Any ideas how to more easily remove crusty type of eye boogers?
  
  My massively furry boy gets large eye crusty boogers. Someone recommended using water or saline and wiping but the water wipe did absolutely nothing. I’ve been just using my nails and fingers to gradually work it out. The problem is that I end up removing a tiny bit of fur. Not a big problem but over time, I think a tiny bald spot will form and maybe get bigger. Also as I have to really work it, sometimes eyelid gets red.
  
  Don’t know if this is a seasonal thing as I never saw any until a couple months ago.

  Hmm… you may want to make sure he doesn’t have a problem with his tear duct. As for removing, I always just used my fingernails but nobody ever had really big eye boogers. They were always small ones. You could try grabbing it with two fingers over a wet paper towel, allow the water to soak in a little, then try to work it out.
