Figuring out the right eye drops for your four-legged friend can be difficult since their eyes differ so much from our own. As bizarre as it may sound, they actually have a third eye lid to provide extra protection. Although they have this extra layer of defense, issues can still arise and eye drops may be needed. Since the decision of how and when eye drops should be used can be quite puzzling at times, here are some tips to help guide you through the process.<\/p>\n
Since your dog can\u2019t speak up when they’re experiencing trouble, it\u2019s important to keep an eye out for their sight health<\/a>! Eye problems in canines are surprisingly much more common than you\u2019d think. They can be caused by as little as hair around their face getting into their eyes. This can lead to irritation and potentially infections. That\u2019s where eye drops come in! They can clean the eye as well as provide much needed medication to relieve your pups of any pain.<\/p>\n Ingredients of eye drops can vary to provide your dog with exactly what they need. A pretty common issue your furry friend may face is having dry eyes. Luckily, dry eyes in dogs is more irritating than painful but can still lead to significant injury if not treated.<\/p>\n The other common issue is eye infections. This can be treated by over-the-counter antibacterial eye drops which should clear it all up! Steroid eye drops can also be used to treat inflammation. They are also a great way to protect against loss of vision. Keep in mind if your dog has been prescribed antibiotics, it\u2019s important to follow your veterinarian\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\nDifferent Types of Eye Drops for Dogs<\/h2>\n
