Natural Remedies After Eye Prolapse Surgery?
by June
Some redness and tenderness can last for a while after an eye has been put back in place. The eye has been stretched and bruised. Known problems afterward include ulcers, dry eye, and the eye turning outward, so if it's still tender, please have your vet recheck it rather than adding something new.
We couldn't find any studies of bilberry in dogs' eyes. The one antioxidant study we found was done in healthy dogs and didn't look at inflammation or healing. Please don't add supplements or home remedies without your vet's OK, because they haven't been tested for this and could delay needed treatment.
What helps most is giving the prescribed medicines exactly as directed, keeping the cone on so he can't rub, and going to every recheck. Call sooner if the eye looks more painful, cloudy or swollen.
