Yikes, your dog just got
Yikes, your dog just got diagnosed with conjunctivitis or worse a superficial corneal ulcer and you need to give them eye drops around the clock to get it better!
In this video I'm going to show you how to give eye drops to your dog.
First off! If you did not consult a veterinarian YOU NEED TO KNOW:
DO NOT PUT A STERIOD eye drop in your dogs eye!
If your dog has a corneal ulcer this will slow healing, your dogs ulcer will get worse, can rupture and your dog can seriously lose their eye! So consult your vet before putting stuff into your dogs eye that you have laying around the house.
You may also need to use a cone of shame and I have confidence you guys can make it through 2 weeks of cone wearing to get your dog’s eye healed!
Here are some helpful tips and step-by-step instructions for administering eye drops:
• Gently clean away any debris around the dog's eyes with warm water and a washcloth prior to administering the eye drops. This can be soothing and prepare your dog for administering the medication(s).
• Hold the bottle using your thumb and index finger. You may want to rest this hand on the top of the dog's head for stability.
• With your other hand, use your thumb to pull down the lower eyelid. The lower eyelid acts as a pouch to receive the drops. Place your remaining fingers under the dog's jaw to support the head.
• Hold the bottle close to the eye but make sure you DO NOT touch the eye's surface.
• Squeeze the prescribed number of drops directly onto the eyeball, aiming for the center of the eye.
• Release your dog's head.
• Your dog will blink, spreading the medication over the surface of the eye.
It is common for dogs to blink or paw at the eye after administering the drops. If this persists or if the eye appears more inflamed or red after administration of the medication, consult with your veterinarian.
