we use triple antibiotic ointment if there are no ulcers on the eye, but my vet doesn't charge like other vets. She would stain their eye to make sure there are no ulcers, because the ointment has a steroid in it.
Hope you figure it out. Nancy L.

The vet has prescribed an antibotic ointment, but I'm a big fan of the ounce of prevention rule. Is there something that I might be doing to prevent this? Are there any treatments that wouldn't require a prescription? Thanks!
