The thing is... some dogs may have an allergy to thimerosol(sp), a preservative used in many eye products, and most of those products sting a little in the human eye, so I can't see my dogs tolerating it too well.

Also, warming any solution to be used in the eyes is much more comfortable (for people and pets).

I also keep plain eye wash in my emergency first aid kit. Peek got a bite wound inside his lower lid and it swelled up so fast... I grabbed the eye wash and gently rinsed all around and in the eye just before we headed off to the vet's.

By the time we got there his eye looked normal... I almost forgot to tell the vet about it as he had quite a few other facial lacerations. He tried to attack Tinkerbell. She opened her mouth (she's 15#, he's 6#) and his head went inside... she did not bite down but he sustained wounds from her teeth on his nose and around his eyes. Nothing major, but due to the location of the wounds and the rapid swelling, a vet check was in order. He healed up fine, no permanent damage...

I see that you use regular eye wash -- they all have some kind of preservative in them, or something that irritates Max's eye. We used the purest of pure eye wash and it still caused problems.

I'm glad Peek was okay.
