My puppy's eye infection keeps coming back. Can I treat it myself?
Hi Jade! Loal is adorable and I'm sorry to hear that she's had so many eye issues lately. Conjunctivitis means that Loal has inflammation of the conjunctiva tissue within the eye, yet this inflammation can be the result of a number of underlying causes, including bacterial, parasitic, foreign material, viral, among others. Loal's eyes should be thoroughly examined with fluorescein staining prior to starting any medication, so I do not recommend attempting to treat her eyes on your own. Additionally, there are no safe or effective over the counter medications to manage conjunctivitis. I can understand that the cost can add up quickly, but this is the safest and most effective way to help Loal. I hope that all goes well!
