stealth 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 My Patterdale seems to have a lot of sleep in his eyes lately, he wakes up with a fair amoun in his eyes which i wipe off in the mornings, then by luch time he has more... he has started following us out in to the garage when we smoke so not sure if thats whats causing this or if he has a slight infection? any recommendations on whats best? is there some ointment i can bath his eyes with? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest davieboy Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 my dog had this, so i treated it the way i do if my kids have a slight eye infection, water with salt mixed in, thats all the GP would give a human, it seemed to work in a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

earthdog dai 75 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 use anti biotic drops- will work a treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jultaylor1972 2 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 use anti biotic drops- will work a treat My Patterdale had the same problem for ages! I used antibiotic drops and within a few days the problem was gone. I do find however, that when she goes to the beach the next day the problem is back and Im forever cleaning her eyes for a few days with cleansing wipes that are designed for childrens eyes - this also seems to help when its not too bad.

weejohn 3 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) sounds like conjunctivitis, both my dogs had it and just got some drops from the vet. Edited January 16, 2008 by weejohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FJager 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I agree Weejohn, Stealth after you clean the dogs eyes make sure you give your hands a good wash as it is highly contagious, salt water is a simple solution to this as someone has already stated.

Guest ROOSTER Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 it sounds like a low grade infection get some fucithalmic from the vet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeTheDog 153 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Had a setter years back with a similar eye problem that wouldn't clear up. Vet' even checked the tear ducts were clear by dropping green dye into her eyes, the dye came out the nose . If the advise given here doesn't work ask your local chemist, cheaper than the vet' by far.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
