**same ingredients as our triple antibiotic ointment except that the**
**eye stuff has more sulfate and also has hydrocortisone in it..**

 

 

Please be very careful of what you put in the eye. It must be sterile and some eye ointments have ingredients other than just antibiotics that can actually slow healing. (good for periodic opthalmia - very bad for a scratched cornea). I have found that I have a very hard time seeing a fresh scratch. Once they start to heal they look milky but at first, without stain, I am never sure.

 

Hopefully one of the wise vets on this list will pop in here with a few words of wisdom for all of us.

What can we use in an injured eye? What about that tube that is just a little bit expired?  (is that like being a little bit pregnant?) How do we know when we REALLY need to call the vet?

 

Thanks for bring this thread up Maggie.Something we all should know more about.
