I took Walter to the vet today for his eye and the vet said that he has Conjunctivitis, could be from Herpes, could not. He gave me some Neo-poly-dex ointment, that I give 1-2 drops to both eyes twice each day. I need to call them tomorrow b/c I just realized that they didn't indicate for how long I need to give them. He did say that the Lysine is great for him either way, and seemed impressed that I knew to give it to him. lol Thanks to you!
How exactly would be the best way to give these? Should I wrap him up and have DH help hold his head? Do I need to hold his eye open or can I just put it in the corner of his eye when it's closed? (I just ask b/c with babies you can just put drops in the inner corner of their eye when it's closed, and when they open their eye again the drop just goes right in on its own...no need to pry the eye open.)
