Applying eye medication can be a challenge. Instilling them properly is important for your dog's health.
Remove any discharge around the eye with a cotton ball moistened with warm water.
See the instructions on the bottle for dosage. Shake if necessary.
Use one hand to hold the bottle between thumb and index and place the other under your dog’s jaw to support the head.
Tilt the head back and, to prevent blinking, use your free fingers to hold the eyelids open.
Hold the bottle close to the eye but DON’T touch the eye’s surface.
Squeeze the drops onto the eye and once the drops are in, release the head.
With ointment, apply 1/4 inch to the lower lid.
Your dog will blink, spreading the medication over the eye’s surface.
