Shampoo in Eyes :( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MilesDavis · 12-26-2009, 03:52 PM

I've used the same shampoo and conditioner on Miles since he was a puppy (Le Pooch Tearless Shampoo and Conditioner). Well...it's always been "tearless" until this time. I must have accidentally gotten some shampoo in his eyes, because he's been squinting ever since. Poor little guy, I can tell it's uncomfortable for him! I've tried gently splashing some water in his eyes (he wasn't a big fan of that) to clear out any irritants, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Is this something I should wait out overnight, or is there something else I can use to help clear them up?

Do you have any "saline solution" on hand...like the regular, basic kind you'd use for contacts? If yes, you can use that as an eye flush...

make sure you get it out.. it can cause an eye burn.

Alright, I braved the weather and went out to get some eye drops! Hopefully this helps to clear them up (I already know Miles is going to LOVE this).

Thanks for the advice!

Only use Natural Tears, or similar product, Sterile saline is great too. Do not use Visine products. It may help to warm the drops in a glass of warm water... not too warm either.

My breeder suggested that I use tearless baby shampoo on my puppy Bailey to prevent this issue.

I've been using Johnson's Tearless Baby Shampoo for about 3 months now and so far it worked really well.

I hope Miles feels better soon!
