How to Apply Eye Ointment

1. You may need to muzzle your dog.
2. Remove any discharge around the eye with a cotton ball moistened with saline solution.
3. Check the instructions on the tube for dosage.
4. Gently pull back upper and lower eyelids.
5. Holding the tube parallel to the lower eyelid, squeeze the ointment on to its edge, about the size of a grain of rice. DON’T let the tube touch the eye’s surface.
6. Release the head. Let your dog blink.
7. Lightly massage upper and lower eyelids together to spread the medication.
 

Important: always administer medicine to its full term for it to be effective. When administering medication stay calm - your pet can sense if you are nervous, making it more difficult to apply the treatment. Always praise and reward your pet with a treat.
