It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Boop by Petco veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

Unfortunately effective ear drops are on prescription, but your vet could do more than one prescription so you can buy them online. The combination of Canaural (with medication) and Sancerum (it is not on prescription and used only for ear cleaning) would be a good first line treatment. Aurizon or Otomax (instead of the Canaural) are more specific products, more indicated for resistant and more difficult cases. Aurizon, Otomax and Canaural can be used for a week each time. Sancerum can be used for routine ears cleaning.

If you can't get to a veterinarian, the best you can do is to keep this eye comfortable and lubricated. See if your pharmacy can give you human eye lubricant drops or gel that is designed to keep the eye moist, and put this in the eye several times daily. Even a human antibiotic eye ointment would work well, if you can get that. Then all you can do is hope that the eye can heal itself with time.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend using Vetericyn Ophthalmic Pet Gel which can be found at your local PetCo to help try and relieve the eye irritation. If this does not help, I would recommend discussing other options with your veterinarian and prescription strength eye drops that contain a steroid to help relieve the eyes from irritation. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Poor Oscar! It can definitely be challenging and strain your bond with Oscar when you have to medicate him. You can try to supply some treats while he is being treated or his favorite toy as soon as you are done. For your safety at home, you can try to use an E-collar or “cone” or invest in a muzzle. In the future, you can try training Oscar to let you touch his eyes, ears, and mouth the way you would train him to sit and stay with positive reinforcement. I hope this helps!
