My Boston Terrier suffers from bouts of irratation in his eyes, he is out in the garden a lot during the day and it could be an allergy to a plant. Our vet has checked him over and says that he does not have an infection. I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to use some homeopathic eye drops when his eyes appear irritated, has anyone any experience of using eye drops?

Hi,

I use for my rescue dogs that sometimes come into rescue with irritated eyes or conjucvitis the homeopathic tincture Euphrasia.

The solution for eye problems in humans and animals is Euphrasia or also known in the US as Eyebright.
You need to buy it as tincture.
Just put 4-5 drops in half a pint distilled or boiled and cooled water or scale it down to less accordingly.
4-5 drops - 1/2 pint (16 tablespoons) water
2-3 drops - 4 ounce(8 tablespoons) water
1-2 drops - 4 tablespoons water

Wipe/wash 2 - 3 times a day should be sufficient.

Hopes this helps.

Yes, thanks I will certainly try. I understand that it is sufficient to wipe the eyes with the solution. If so this will be a great help, as it is almost impossible to administer the eye drops, the last couple of times he has bitten me, he gets so furious. My vet suggested I try to do it without the struggle, and use a treat to try and cajole him, but I've tried and tried and its proved impossible, he just freaks out and it's very hard to hold him down as he is quite strong.

my cat and my old rabbit used to g et hsi sas well.

You can try something as simple as a cold tea bag in the eye. i still use it on my horses when sher gets a fly bite around her eye as it swells to three times the size. you can see the relief in her face.

just another surgestion

good luck
