It helps a lot.
The ointment says "Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates, Bacitracin Zinc and Hydrocortizone Opthalmic Ointment" I think it's called Apexa (unless that's the maker?) It is supposed to not be irritating to the eyeball if it gets in there.
Good luck! |
While the ointment you are suggesting may not be irritating to the normal eye, it can cause serious issues and blindness if used on a pup that has an eye ulcer even starting. You should never use a steroid cream near the eyes without a vet examining the eye and/or prescribing it. Steroids will make that ulcer get worse and the pup can lose his/her vision as a result.
