chester has dry eyes - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chestermama · 03-23-2013, 02:57 PM

I took chester to the vet on thrusday because he had a bunch of extra eye goobers, and me friends said its just allergies and I said no. The vet said he has dry eyes, they done the test and he was only 6, it should be 15, the ointment is twice a day and it cost fifty dollars for a small tube. I was wondering which place would be best to get it petmeds or foster and smith, about the same price. He does not like me putting this stuff in his eyes, I dont blame him

I feel so sorry for you and your pup. This is something that I don't know anything about so I'm sorry I can help but I do know what it is to fight with a pup (rattlesnake) trying to put meds where they belong. I really feel for you!!

I'm sure someone else with more knowledge than I will be along shortly to help you out. Blessings!!

So sorry to hear this... hope the meds help. He'll get better after a while... Tink used to fight me with her meds now we have come to an agreement it's just something we need to do everyday then we can have fun!

I hope the meds help, I bet his eyes feel so much better now!

In addition to Fosters and PetMeds, also call Diamondback Drugs - they are an actual pet pharmacy that does compounding and ships nationally. They also have already prepared meds on hand and maybe they'd have your ointment for less....?
