sore eyse after a dig very bad any suggestions

[J Darcy 5,871]

An eye wash but once home i have always used something called Fucithalmic. Its really top stuff and i have no doubt that it has saved dogs eyes in the past from blindness. Personally i would never use tea bags as i have seen first hand the aftermath of them not treating the eyes properly...

Get something called GOLDEN EYE, proper good

 

 

i think thats what i was looking for lol not gold star

 

or antibiotic eyedrops#

 

anythin on them lines

[Pulser 14]

Terramycin( http://medi-vetrx.com/Terramycin-Ophthalmi.../B00063KGUK.htm ) is good stuff. And cod liver oil is also good for sand in eyes..

Just keep dribbling luke warm water through the eye: use a rag or anything if you haven't got a plastic syringe (minus needle of course). Dribble the water from the far corner of the eye so that it runs towards the nose, and gently hold back the eye lids one at a time: you'll get loads of muck out like that> should be done as soon as possible every time the dog has been to ground.

I usually use a cotton bud with some luke warm water and very gently clean the eyes thoroughly. if u know any farmer ask him for a mastitis tube which is used for cows. use a small bit of this cream in the eye every 3 or 4 days.it prevents infection.this stuff is also great for wounds and heals them very quickly.atb shovel

Spot on , listen to experience ffs and don't go with old wives tales, it could be the difference between the dogs sight and blindness.

Swing by a chemist and get aome OPTREX.. used it for years and it's spot on...

if it warents worrying about its Fucithalmic everytime. just watch it on cuts.

First get helper, then firmly hold dogs head, then lick your thumb for grip, press on the dogs face with thumb just below bottom eyelid and push down this will open the eyelid pocket where all the shite gathers, then get helper to gently scoop out shite with tissue folded to a point.If necessary as in your case also use good eyedrops such as fucithalmic. a.t.b.

Optrex is a local anasthetic(spelling?) so just makes the irritation go and don't allways cure the problem,i wouldn't even use it on myself let alone a dog who can't tell you the irritation is still there.I use Maxitrol for any slight eye problems but if it persists get to the vets,shovel is the mastitis cream called kloxerate plus as i use this cream myself on cuts and never had a cut go bad with it,even fox bites.

ive always used optrex and never had any problems

[james b 0]

ive always used the teabag method and never had any problems and was told by someone who has worked terriers and nothing but terriers for over 30 years so everyone has an opinion but il stick to mine tanks.

[Guest eastmids]

ive used optrex,according to this it has the same ingredients as golden eye and others.

that fucithalmic is great stuff.

[dicko 1]

go to boots get anti biotic eye drops work a treet for this

[james b 0]

Also i might add that the teabags are used to sooth not to fight infection for that u should always use an anti biotic eye drop Broline is good thats wat i use theres lots of alternatives though.
