My dog has a watery eye. Can prednisone treat or cure the issue?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Prednisone is an anti-inflammatory at low doses. If your vet suspects allergies as the cause the pred will help. Also the pred may help with rubbing or scratching of the eyes. Allergies are hard to “cure” if the underlyin cause isn’t found. Good luck!

Can I use Ciprofloxin, Amoxicillin, or Dexamethasone for my dog's eye?
Hello and thank you for the update. Please, do not use dexamethasone as it is detrimental in case of corneal damage. You can use Ciprofloxacine instead twice a day until you can get Roshni seen by your vet. There is no need to use systemic antibiotic, like Amoxicilin.

My dog's eye is red & squinting. Should I give him old Prednisone?
I do not recommend giving any medications unless directed by your vet. He could have a corneal ulcer, infection, scratch, or foreign body in his eye. Your vet can do some testing to diagnose and then prescribe the best medication to treat. He may need an antibiotic to treat.

Can I get dog ear infection medication online or without seeing a vet?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Hazel. Unfortunately it's illegal for us to prescribe medication without seeing her in person. You cannot get a prescription online. If she does have an ear infection, she will have to see a vet to get it treated. It's very important to take her into a vet as leaving this untreated can lead to hearing loss. Best of luck.

My dog has allergy conjunctivitis. What OTC eye drops can I use?
I would suggest you try one of these: ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-Pooch-Conjunctivitis-Allergies-Irritation/dp/B01N0BX1LT/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1524655434&sr=8-2&keywords=isathal ) ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vetericyn-Care-Wash-safely-around/dp/B00VV8ZVP4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1524655434&sr=8-5&keywords=isathal ) The isathal does not appear to be very expensive. Will your vet call a prescription in to pharmacy like this one? ( https://www.viovet.co.uk/Isathal_10_mgg_Eye_Drops_for_Dogs_Cats_and_Rabbits_Formerly_Fucithalmic/c35510/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3pKpgarV2gIVz5TtCh2kAAE0EAEYASAAEgJprPD_BwE ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
