Conjunctivitis?

kim26 · 07-12-2006, 10:50 AM

Doc woke up this morning with one goopy eye. I noticed he had a little white goop in the corner of his eye yesterday but didn't think anything of it. Does anyone know if there is a medicine I can buy over the counter for it or do I need to take him to the vet? I'm always for saving the expense of a trip to the vet, but will take him if necessary.

I ran a quick goodle search and found this site didn't have time to read it all but here it is for you.

Thanks, Gracie. I think I better take him to the vet for some anti-biotic ointment. I didn't find any on the Petco site so I can't run to the store to get some and don't have time to do mail order. I'm pretty sure it is not allergies because it is only in one eye.

gracielou · 07-12-2006, 04:11 PM

Yeah it would probably be in both eyes if it was allergies also he might be itching if it was.

I took Doc to the vet and he does have conjunctivitis. Got some drops and he should be as good as new in no time!

I am glad that you took him in.
Chase (my Poodle) gets conjunctivitus too...not a serious problem, but a bit sore for them. Glad you got some meds to help out.

gracielou · 07-13-2006, 10:01 AM

Well I'm glad you took him in then I'm sure left untreated it could cause eye damaged in the future so we don't want that. Thanks for updating us.

Terramycin http://www.kvvet.com without a prescription it works great,,,

Thanks Nancy! I appreciate you sending this link...I'll put it on my favorites!

kim26 · 07-13-2006, 01:46 PM

Thanks Nancy. I saw that on DrsSmithFoster website too. I couldn't wait this time for it to arrive though, but, I might order some to keep on hand. I wonder if it has a short expiration date. It would actually be cheaper to get it from my vet if he wouldn't charge me for an office visit. I wonder if he would just sell me the drops if Doc got it again.

Doodlesville · 07-13-2006, 01:48 PM

to get the catalog ,,,it takes awhile to go thru it all,,has wonderful info along with recommended treatments,loads of natural treatments also
glad i could help

good tip Nancy!

also LAMBRIAR is a great veterinary supply house - reasonable and they have a vet on staff T/Th for meds that do require a Rx.

thanks to LeeAnn for sharing about that one!

Doodlesville · 07-13-2006, 02:12 PM

cant remember why,,think they were a bit pricey
Kv has vet on call ,,in fact i talked to one last week,,i was really impressed,,very helpful!!
i like kv because the yearly catalog has so much info in it,,i have learned so much just from that,,LOL

Doodlesville · 07-13-2006, 02:15 PM

this is actually a ointment,, will have to check but should be good for a long time,,
also a fyi,,dr foster and smith is probably the most pricey place you could order from,,
here is a couple of other links

Thanks Nancy, that's good info.

Jac - do you know what causes Chase's conjunctivitis? I thought, maybe, Doc picked it up from the dog park because I took him there on Sunday evening. My Standard Poodle developed real goopy eyes after she was a few years old. Its was from dry eyes, I forget the name for it. She had to get ointment in her eyes daily.
