How to Apply Eye Ointment

  • You may need to muzzle your dog.
  • Remove any discharge from around the eye with a cotton ball moistened with warm water.
  • Check the instructions on the tube for dosage.
  • Gently pull back upper and lower eyelids.
  • Holding the tube parallel to the lower eyelid, squeeze the ointment on to its edge. DON'T let the tube touch the eye's surface.
  • Lightly massage upper and lower eyelids together to spread the medication.
  • Release the head. Let your dog blink.
