Has the bitch gone blind completley ? Had a similar problem last year but it cleared up after a few days but I washed them out 2 or 3 times a day for about 3 days

Antibiotics keep using the eye drops and using used teabags to clean the eyes also always work for me. Atb

Try and get Fucithalmic Vet eye drops or Terramycin eye drops. These are both antibiotic eye drops. Or try to get Lactating Cow tubes with amoxicillin. Any dairy farmer will have them. Do a course of any of these for 5 days. Should clear it up, .

that is lactating cow/dry cow... good stuff.

 

rock we ALWAYS got fairy liquid bottles of water in the bag and straight after every dig the dog eyes are cleaned/swilled out using water, never had any problems with dogs going blind so it might be worth you trying that in the future...thats if you didnt do it already. can i just ask did you clean the dogs eyes straight after the dig or did you wait till you got home?
