Chaff 3,622 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Vet has given me isathal eye drops/ cream she dyed the eye and had a good look and there were no signs of any marks. So being treated as an infection, she asked about swimming which he does do but his last dip was two weeks ago. While in there he gave his head a shake resulting in an old split ear injury to open up. So gave us some hibiscrub for that and suggested treating his ear with the isathal drops as well. Now if anyone has any tips as to getting eye drops in, because even with a good headlock he not having it at all. I thought maybe when back from a walk and he is sleeping might be a good time. Thanks again for your help and advise. How much did all that cost you mate ....... 52 quid socks but hey i didnt want a sighthound with bad eye sight at 18 months old I didn't want to risk it mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easiest way to put eye drops in is to do it while the dogs laid down. Let him close his eye, as he will instinctively do, and then lift the upper lid and just squeeze the lotion into it. You don't need to go mad, literally a couple of drops will do. maybe give him a treat afterwards and tell him he's a good boy and all that stuff. JMHO.... alternatively, sit on the twat and bang it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Worst thing you can do is get him in a "good headlock" fella in my opinion. You want to relax him. Chill him out. Fuss him. Then just do what you gotta do like its no big deal. Be relaxed yourself, else he will pick up on it. Same applies for everything from treating open wounds to cutting the dogs nails. So many people grab the dogs all tense and start bollocking them. Nice and steady ?? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well he has had a couple skin tears that came good with regular salt water bathing,though while he was on the mend I took a lot of shit from friends and family for not taking him to vet so I think I'm in credit with the vet anyway Cheers for advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
