A Detailed Guide to the Correct Way to Apply Eye Drops to Dogs
Common eye diseases can all cause tearing or excessive discharge. If left untreated, this discharge will inevitably soil the hair on the dog's face. Before applying eye drops, first use damp cotton wool to carefully wipe away the dirt at the corners of the dog's eyes. Wash the dog's eyes with warm water or eye wash prescribed by a veterinarian. Human eye drops must not be used. Be careful not to get cotton fibers into the eyes. Gently hold the dog and open its eyes; to keep the dog from being frightened, apply the eye drops from behind its head. After applying, let the medication remain in the eye for a little longer.
