There’s always something

[Jen]

I *think* we got some in.

It’s so hard. He’s terrified and I hate upsetting him

Poor stanners. When we were at the vet a month ago, on an unrelated issue, the vet said Monty had mild seasonal conjunctivitis, almost certainly caused by grass pollen. His don't look too bad, and she didn't prescribe drops.l have looked up the doggy dose for cetirizine though and might start dosing him up. Seems to be a common thing with our dogs!

Eye drops are really tough....

One thing I’ve had some luck with is closing the eye, then putting a line of drops along the line where the eyelids join, then opening the eyelids. The drops (or some of them) fall into the eye. It’s less traumatic than trying to do it with an open eye. And naturally one follows it up immediately with a generous serve of favourite treats.

Oh does this he works with kids... We think dogs are bad.

 

[Mabel’smummy]

Oh poor Stanley, get well soon.

 

[Kelsey]

Ohhh I hate giving eye drops. Gizmo was much easier than Odie, surprisingly. Axel has never needed them, yet. Good luck! Poor Stanley, can’t seem to catch a break.

 

[Jen]

He’s now suspicious of my every move and will only look at me around things

I shouldn’t laugh but this dog is far too clever for his own good!!

 

[Jen]

YESSSS! I got one right square in his eye.

I held a gravy bone quite high so he was staring st it wide eyed then dropped it in from quite high.

Well done ! Oh just look at him in that photo ! xx

 

[Lisa]

Aww poor Stanley! I dread the thought of having to give eye drops to Simba. Thankfully I’ve never had to do it yet...

 

[Joy]

Poor Stanley. Will he let you wipe his eye with a tissue? I was thinking you could put the eye-solution on a tissue and wipe it across his eye.

 

[Jen]

He won’t let me any near his head at all now

We must’ve managed to get a few in yesterday because it looks much better today.

Another day of fun and games begins

 

[Lab_adore]

He need to go and check in to the Random Hoomans page. Some good advice from Coco

 

[Naya]

Poor boy, but clever boy x

 

[Jen]

Urgh! The other eye has started now

 

[Jacqui-S]

 

[Granca]

Poor you (and poor Stanley)! He looks so much like Tuppence and seems to behave very similarly too. I dread to think how on earth I would begin to treat eyes or ears with her! That photo of Stanley looking from behind the chair looks so familiar! Does he then run off in the opposite direction? How difficult can it be to corner a lab...?!

 

[Jen]

I think it’s my karma for him being so good with eyedrops.

He really doesn’t like me right now but I’m managing to get them in on a night when he’s sleepy. I just hope it doesn’t come back in the other eye!

 

[Lab_adore]

Sorry to hear this, what a worry they are!
