Eye Problems

[BulldogMother]

When I got my girl from the rescue place, they said that when her eyes got red I should put Optixcare ("eye lube plus") in them. Turns out she has the occasional cherry eye in her right eye and she does seem to have general eye irritation. She is often rubbing her eyes on anything that works. And she totally hates it when I put the Optixcare stuff in her eyes. I was thinking something with an eye dropper might work better. Just wondering what you folks use. It seems as if bulldogs do have those droopy eyes.

I use Optixcare for Jeffo's eyes, only because as dogs get older they are prone to eye ulcers. I use it 2-3 times a week, that is the only reason I use it. Maybe your girl has had an ulcer in the past, if that is the case, she may need it more often, even every day.

Just a thinking about this, if it is really red and irritating, she may need to see the Vet for antibiotic drops, and to check there is no ulcer. How old is Reba?
