I'm interested to see what eye drops you guys are using on your dogs, and what tricks you might be using to be able to administer them.

The two things are prescription, first of it is gentamicin sulfate those are drops and the neomycin which is like a jelly. I hold his face and eye open talking very calmly to him what a good boy he is and its a piece of cake. You might want to get:

they also have a puralube which I will get for him after his eye heals.
I was reading what can cause this on bug eyed dogs, is their eye lids dont close all the way.So while sleep they get dry eye and add rapid eye movement while sleeping, the eye gets irritated and it eventually become a ulcer. Puralube would keep the eye moist at night its a jelly.
