It's been a month since my dog has this nagging etch in its eye.it keeps on rubbing its left eye and there is a constant flow of liquid.i went to vet he said it is a infection(viral??).he recommended me (pendistrin-SH) containing penicillin,streptomycin,sulfamerazine and hydrocortistone in plastobase)and said this will take some time to heal.but i see no improvment and the tube has no medicine left.so yesternight when it got worse i put ("Ciprofloxacin 0.3% 5ml solution) It made my dog squeek quite a lot .dog was trying to scratch it's eye using hind legs nail.On closer inspection i can see a small white patch on it leftish side of the eye's surface (not deep) but like a layer not covering the whole eye though just to make it clear.any solution or diagnosis? or medicine plz include name as well as schedule to administer it.

Find another vet and get the pup there ASAP. That puppy is suffering and needs help. As I've discovered over the year's, all vets aren't trained or experianced equally. There are a few minor thing's you can treat yourself, but anything having to do with the eye's isn't one of them. Good luck to you and that pup you oviously love.

One of my dogs scratched her cornea and had a spot like that for a really long time, it just needs to heal on its own and it does require antibiotic ointment a couple times a day. I can't remember what it was called, but the tube definately disappeared before the white mark did.
Although, if your dog is scratching it, I'd try putting him or her in a Elizabethan collar to avoid him/her damaging the eye further. The scratch may have happened after the vet visit from all the itching.
Bring your dog back to the animal hospital and have it rechecked.... then ask for and E-collar and, in time, your pup will be good as new.

Eye problems are nothing to treat on your own, as they can become worse very quickly. Call your vet now. I am not a vet and am not familiar with the medication you used that made your dog cry out in pain. DO NOT use anything in your dog's eye that your vet has not prescribed. Among other things, if by chance he scratched his cornea during this past month, any medication that contains cortisone has the potential to cause an ulceration. Call your vet today.

I would call the vet today. A month is too long to go with the little guy suffering. If you're out of the medicine and there's no improvement, then I think the vet needs to be notified. Good luck to you and your little one.

first you need to stop giving the dog meds that the vet didnt perscribe. you could be doing MUCH more damage. second, you need one of those cone collars so the dog CANT scratch it. its just making it worse. you need to go back to the vet and get it checked out again. if you dont, that eye has a good chance of going blind.

Try Swedish Bitters from www.swedishbitters.com . Simply rub it on your dog's eyes, one at a time, with a cotton ball. It may sting a little going on, but it is very good for the eyes.

Did your vet stain your dogs eyes for ulcers? If not please have your vet do this. It is important to rule out ulcers before putting any medicine with cortisone in it. Because this could make it worse. Good luck.
