LaraCroft 863 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 If its just the gunk in the corner of the eyes in the morning and the dog is fine in herself, and not rubbing the eyes and looking uncomfortable, I'd be washing them several times a day in cool boiled water and as long as she stayed fine and the eyes were not bothering her, then give it a few days of regular washing to see if it will clear. If not, back to the vet for a check. The gunk is infectious, so if it builds up over night, and you aren't cleaning it regularly, then if she is rubbing it on her paws, then rubbing her eyes again, she will re-infect herself. Pollen tends to make them very itchy, so you'll see her digging at them, rubbing them etc. If she just got an eye infection, then good cleaning and the antibiotic drops ( you can get them from the chemist, rather than the vet ) should sort it.

LaraCroft 863 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 You're welcome. You can buy Optrex Infected Eyes solution from the chemist far cheaper than going to the Vet. If you are happy that the dog is ok, not in pain, and not worrying with the eyes, and just getting a bit of gunk now and then from a low scale infection, it can work really well. Just don't mention it is for a dog ! Wiping a used teabag over the dogs eyes in the morning and evening can help keep the pollen from being an irritant. If it continues, keeping a few old teabags in a plastic bag, with a tablespoon of water, and then taking a bag out to wipe the eyes mid walk will help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
