Treating Pets With Eye Medications
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Treating Pets with Eye Medications" is about pets, it was created by Linda Mar Veterinary Hospital.
To treat your pet's eyes with medication, try to following steps:
Gently tilt the head back so the eyes wolud like at the ceiling.
Medicated Ointment:
Roll the lower eyelid out, forming a 'pocket', and place a small
amount of ointment (1/8 to ¼ inch) along the inner edge of the
eyelid. (If it seems easier, you can medicate the inner margin
of the upper lid in a similar fashion.)
The ointment will liquefy quickly, coating the surface of the
eye as the animal blinks.
Medicated drops:
Hold the dropper bottle at least one inch from the surface of
the eye and let one drop fall onto the eye. Continue to hold the
head up for about 5 - 10 seconds. Never allow the tip of the
bottle to touch the surface of the eye - the remaining contents
of the bottle could become contaminated.
The above is general veterinary information. Do not begin
any course of treatment witohut consulting your regular
veterinarian. All animals should be examined at laest once every
12 months.
