| Im trying my best but what else can I do these little stinkers wont leave each other alone So I am just going to keep up what I am doing but sometimes I feel maybe I should be doing something more to clear that eye up. I had her to the vet today and they want to see her on Monday so I have tell then to get that eye right.Hopefully I can get it cleared up but she has been my worry from day one she was the smallest almost 4 weeks and weighs 12 ounces so I always have that strong feeling with her. |

| Try using a warm tea bag on the eye area. Gently rub the eye with the tea bag -- green tea is the best. Hope this helps |

| Don't know about the tea but I definitely would NOT use milk. It is one of the ingredients in some culture media because bacteria grows so well in it. Please ask your vet if masaging the eye gently with eye ointment might help.. Is it possible it could be swelling? I hope that little bugger decides there is so much in the world to see, and will pop that eye open PDQ! |

| eye You say that the eye is only half open..the end is still closed? Can the vet open it up completely, shoudl be a minor thing to do???..I am having a hard time understanding the "hurt" part. I have seen them get a scratch, ulcer on the cornea. I have heard of a dry eye from a tear duct problem..this is new to me...could you post a picture? Keep the nails short..best wishes |

| I had a little pup with an eye infection. I would gently rub it with a wet warm washcloth, just water. If I held it on a little and got it nice and clean, I could gently pry his eye open. When it didn't clear up, the vet prescribed an ointment, Ophth Oint-Triple. (Triple Antibiotic Ointment by Vedco.) It cleared up fine. I continued to wipe with a clean warm washcloth until it cleared up completely, then put in ointment 2 x daily.

| eye Alot depends on the actual problem. If it a tear duct problem and the eye is dry from no tears, then that needs surgery later. If it is a scratch from another pup, then that will heal with medication..sometimes the vet will stitch the eye shut to heal the scratch. Best wishes |
