ILFC Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 They might be infected? have you been to the vet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Sounds like conjunctivitis or some sort of infection at least - conjunctivitis is just the most common. Saline is good, strong cold tea is better, colloidal silver is better still. Failing all that, I'd be off to the vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 No, haven't been to the vet, because I didn't really notice until tonight. His eyes, look a little better already since I bathed in the warm salty water. I will try the tea, or colloidal silver. I was going to check tomorrow, and if they didn't look much better take him to the vet. Where do I get the colloidal silver from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Hi Angelina Try the strong cold tea first - it is very effective with conjunctivits in both humans and animals - and it's cheaper than colloidal silver. You can get colloidal silver from any health food store and from most chemists. A small bottle will cost about $10 - it has a thousand uses so make sure you ask for a booklet or google it for more info. I have used it for both eye and ear infections on my first goldie, it is great stuff. Edited July 22, 2007 by Duncan+Dougal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 been near any dust, smoke etc lately? if so the wash out should clean them out. saline is good for flushing out eyes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 yes, it is very dusty at the back at the moment. I have 3 dogs, and the other 2, have made themselves a running path, and it is quite dusty outside now. I can't water because of water restrictions (I ordered a rain tank some 2 months ago, but it hasn't arrived yet). Anyhow, I bathed them this morning, and my son is home today, so will be home all day, so the little Moo can stay inside during the day today with him. I'll check again tonight. They did look a little better this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well, everybody I think it was dust. I have been bathing them twice a day, and they have improved a 100%. I think its just him running behind the other 2 larger dogs, and them kicking dust in his face. Poor little boy. Thanks for the tips though.
