unless you need the reassurance. I sometimes do, but probably not for a red eye that seems to be improving.

I just rinse it with warm water and his med arrived yesterday, his eye is not red anymore a very slight pink. I think I'm going to give it a couple of days before seeing the vet. he does have an appmt tomorrow, do you think I should bring him to the vet or hold off?

...and I can say that none of my various solutions would be appropriate for a bully. They all contain a cleaner or a conditioner, or both, that would make application to a dog's eye more harmful than good. Unless you use straight saline for your lenses the answer would be no.

Good products to have around for your dog and yourself are the Refresh products. All eye products have chemical preservatives for shelf life. These can cause further irritation if you already have dry or sensitive eyes. Refresh has patented a special preservative that turns to saline when exposed to sunlight, so they are great products for dry/sensitive eyes. I use Refresh Tears when I need to really hose a foreign body out of my eye (I wear rigid lenses so that happens fairly frequently). The Refresh Tears are less expensive than actual contact rewetting drops, and are less viscous, so they are a good choice for that use. For my bully I keep on hand Refresh Liquigel which is more viscous than Refresh Tears, and a little longer lasting for dry eye relief.

Hope this helps!

and that is fine, you need to make sure that they do not have any cleaner included. Alot are an all in one now and that would not be good for the eye.

Normal saline is what we used to irrigate eyes and wounds.

Water is good to, however the Ph is not balanced like your secretions with a bit of salt included.
