Sticky icky eyes

Just wanted share info

My 2 have had sticky gungy eyes last week, I could see I was facing a huge vet bill to treat them both so i did a bit of research....

Optrex for infected eyes - is awesome stuff! Cleared my 2's prob up within about 2-3 days.

The ingredient in optrex infected eyes is just what the vet would give in drops/ointment for good ol conjunctivitis.

Usually I'd be straight to the vets but I guess after a while u learn to not be so panicy! And will try a safe recommended alternative.

Interesting as I had drops for Tilly just a few weeks ago and had a bill for 20 quid and a little more, anyone else makea ny comments on this one ??

For me, anything to do with eyes I would go to the vets.

Golden eye ointment is good to use on sticky eyes too, just dont tell the pharmacist its for your dog

I've always gone to the vet for any eye issue as well.

seems there can possibly be a problem with Golden Eye ointment Denise due to a change in its make up ?? I was just having a mooch about and found this info on a Labradoodle forum

Thanks for that Dave never knew about the change, the last time i used the stuff was well over a year ago or more.

Eyes, I would rather go to the vet. They so precious. Still if it has worked.

Ofc eyes are precious, but I see nothing wrong with self medicating if u know a product is safe and the condition isn't obviously severe. Or for example, it's the weekend abd can't get to the vet for a day or two.

My 2 had sticky eyes but I've seen worse, within a cpl of days they were bk to normal.
