We found Shilo eager to have that gunk wiped out of his eye but not too pleased with us putting in cream to ease infection! Found it easier to do it while he was being petted on the sofa by someone else and getting a small reward after the cream was in place. Hope you find an answer and that it is not going to be a yearly problem for Errol. Let us know what the Dr says and Good Luck.

<p>Someone told me yesterday to use milk. Her husband was a miner and they used milk down the mines when they got dirt and dust in their eyes.</p>

<p>One of my bitches has had an infection in her right eye recently. She is still having drops twice a day for what my vet said is conjunctivitis. Her eye was very red with a yellow/green mucky discharge but didn't seem sore or itchy. With this type of discharge I wouldn't think twice about treating it myself and headed straight off to the vet.

He said he has had a few recently with conjunctivitis that has been persistent and difficult to clear up and he has referred them to an eye specialist who has recommended using the drops for 3 weeks. I have only been using the drops (Tiacil) for a few days and already the eye looks nearly back to normal. No problems putting the drops in either, she is so good but having to put eye drops in my horses eyes for a whole winter a few years back I find dogs a whole lot easier!</p> Hi Christine same problem wit…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2011-08-30:865021:Comment:7688132011-08-30T11:43:07.077ZLois McCulloughhttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/LoisMcCullough
Hi Christine same problem with Hamilton lumps and bumps eyes not too bad as I wash them with teabags each morning. The lumps and bumps I wash with a diluted anti bacterial liquid available from the chemist this clears them up quite quickly. It makes you wonder what is being put on our land Good luck Lois
