My dog's injured eye is dead. Can vitamins or holistic care help?

Poor Stone! You've done exactly the right thing by having him seen by the vet for his corneal infection. Unfortunately, there are no other treatments you can give him to supplement what the vet has already prescribed. The medications given by your vet are the scientifically proven treatments for his corneal infection, and there are no proven supplements that help with an eye infection in a dog. In addition, you can accidentally do harm to Stone by supplementing him with vitamins and herbs. Too many vitamins are detrimental to a dog's health and can cause toxicosis, while certain herbs are toxic to dogs. Having Stone seen by a vet and giving him the drugs as prescribed is the best thing you can do to help his eye heal :-)

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sky. Unfortunately, there are no oral supplements for dry eye. The only treatment is the topical application of eye drops to lubricate the surface of the eyes. If the eyes are not responding, then drops to decrease the body's immune response may be required. Do not allow him to paw at his eyes as he could cause damage. I hope this information helps!

Supplements, such as Omega 3 fatty acids (Welactin is one example), can be beneficial to maintain skin health if Daisy has allergies. They are not a magic cure-all, but when used in conjunction with other management strategies for allergy triggers (diet changes, flea presentation, antihistamines, allergy immunotherapy injections, etc.), can be helpful in many dogs. There are no eye drops that will improve cataracts or age-related changes (lenticular sclerosis). Eye cloudiness can also be caused by glaucoma, corneal ulcers, among other inflammatory conditions. Consider having her eyes evaluated by a vet to determine the cause of the cloudiness so that it can be managed.

I am so very sorry to hear about the fire and the loss of your pets. In terms of her eyes, without knowing the actual diagnosis of what is going on with them we cannot really make a recommendation. I would recommend having her vet examine the eyes if they have not already. Some damage unfortunately is permanent, but without knowing the issue we cannot say. There is not likely to be an over the counter product that is going to make a change though, so the vet visit is truly your best option. Many dogs do adjust eventually to being blind and get around quite well once they have adjusted https://dogcare.dailypuppy.com/how-to-live-with-a-blind-dog-12109341.html

If an opthalmologist has evaluated Bella and reports that there is nothing to be done, then I suspect that Bella has something wrong with her retinas. My dog has progressive retinal atrophy and has been blind for a couple of years. I went to 2 opthalmologists just to make sure of the diagnosis, so you can certainly get another opinion from another ophthalmologist just to be sure. Unfortunately, we do not have any treatment for diseases of the retina, so we are left with a blind dog. Fortunately, blind dogs do great and can have a great quality of life. I have attached a link below with tips for living with a blind dog. https://www.care.com/c/stories/6299/17-tips-for-living-with-a-blind-dog/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Unfortunately no, there isn't anything you can do at home to treat Molly's swollen eye, she has to see a vet. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into a vet as soon as possible. Best of luck.

Hello, depending on what caused the purulent material on her eye, what you are seeing now may be consistent with scar tissue. Now, if she is having any discharge, if the normal white part of the eye (sclera) is red, or if she has bright red conjunctiva, then she should definitely be evaluated by a veterinarian. I would not recommend putting anything else into her eye until you have your veterinarian evaluate her. If she has an ulcer or an infection, putting the wrong medications in her eye may lead to a worsening condition and even the loss of her eye. I would definitely have her seen by your veterinarian if you are concerned she could be in pain or if you think her eye is not looking any better by tomorrow. Hope this helps and best of luck.
