You have to watch that you aren't giving it to a dog with an eye ulcer too- that's why the vet usually uses fluorescein, the orange stuff, to make sure there is no ulceration before prescribing fucithalmic.
anyone know what else does the trick for conjunctivitis , when ever I seem to take the gang to the seaside at least 1 or more get it the vet said this its quite common for dogs to get it from swimming in the sea ( wonder why is it the salt that irritates the eyes ? ) they haven't been this year yet but I'm planning on going soon and pre thinking about there little eyes will try to wash them out see if that helps by the time I pay there £30 each time then the £26 eye ointment on top it works out a expensive trip to the beach

I prefer to take advice from my vet. I'd take Penel's advice over my vets any day when it comes to canine auto-immune conditions (and a lot of other things, too) - although vets are professionals, it is unrealistic to expect them to be an expert in everything about every species, hence the need for specialists, and trusting the views of one person is very dangerous imo, no-one knows everything, and no-one is infallible
Well, you do as you see fit. I'm not impressed.
I have a lot of experience of treating "dry eye" - just over eight years - but I wouldn't set myself up as some sort of guru. Indeed, my dog's vet is the eye consultant at the practice, and regularly compliments me on how well his eyes are. In fact this happened this morning when Charley went for his annual check-up and booster.
Guru Penel kinda has a nice ring to it
