Can I use Equate saline solution safely as eye drops for my mouse?

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No, I would not use this product for baby mice. You will likely end up overdosing them on potassium and that will kill them. That particular product also has a lot of sugar. I am not sure what you are trying to treat but just plain water is probably fine unless they are having severe diarrhea. If they are having severe diarrhea then you should have them checked by a vet as parasites and bacterial infections are the main causes - both of which need specific treatment. You can make a homemade electrolyte replacement solution. Here is the recipe: 4½ cups water 2 teaspoons sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon baking soda Hope this helps. Best wishes!

If it is just a saline eye wash than you can use it to clean her eyes. If she is having problems with her eyes than it would be a good idea to have a vet examine her to determine the cause. She may need medications to treat.

Yes, this product should be fine for rinsing the eyes. If there is any yellow or green crusting of the eye, if your bunny is squinting his eye or otherwise seems uncomfortable then I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Look for "sterile saline". It is usually used for rinsing soft contact lenses. An example can be seen at the link below. https://www.target.com/p/bausch-lomb-sensitive-eyes-plus-saline-solution-2pk-24-fl-oz/-/A-11285739

Typically most eye flushes and things like this are safe if you happen to get some in the eye as well. I don't see any alarming ingredients there either that will cause any harm. From now on continue to use it around the eye just to be on the safe side. Also monitor her for any yellow or green discharge or excessive squinting, which would indicate she may have damage to her cornea and needs to be seen. And if your pets condition isn't improving, a recheck with your vet is the next best step. I hope this helps! Best wishes with your pet Noushmc. Take care.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sweetie. I recommend using a simple saline ophthalmic rinse. This can be bought over-the-counter for humans at any grocery or drug store. For example, Bausch and Lomb makes a saline eye rinse. Make sure that it is saline with no other ingredients. I hope this information helps!

You should not need to flush your bunny's eyes, as a healthy bunny should not have a discharge from his eye. If you think there is a lot of dust that is bothering your rabbit and you want to remove that you can gently flush the eyes with some 0.9% saline solution available from your pharmacy. If there is a discharge of pus or if you think there is a bigger foreign body that needs to be removed, your bunny needs to be seen by a veterinarian, as your bunni could be suffering from an upper respiratory infection, or a nasty abscess, or tooth problems.
