One other thing - if they are nursing, wash the mother's face and bag as well with the baby shampoo. Make sure it is 'no tears'. Be sure to rinse her bag off afterwards. You don't need to rinse their faces off, just leave the soap on.

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!
