Shih Tzu eye drainage;

20 11:11:36

Question
My Shih Tzu, Angel, has been having eye issues for some time now and the vet keeps giving her polymyxin b sulfate and trimethoprim eye irritation drops but it doesn't seem to go away. She gets this yellowish discharge build-up and I clean her eyes at least twice a day and, in the morning, it is crusty. It seems like it hurts her (or at least it looks like it would hurt me if I had it). Do you know of any other medication I could give her because it doesn't seem like her current medication is working at all?

Answer
Hi Paul and Little Angel ; Well, I am glad you did see the Vet for some help ;          I wonder if it's just an allergy to something in her environment?  
Please see the Vet again if the drainage increases or turns a greenish color:

You can try the following Natural Eye wash and also daily supplement -

1.  Eye Wash or Eye Irrigation Solution can be used daily:  
YOU can find this in your local Pet Store:  http://www.revivalanimal.com/Eye-Irrigating-Solution.html


2.  Many of my clients take 1/2 teaspoon or 1/2 Wafer of NuVET Plus Daily -
NuVET is an allergy blaster and immune system booster -  NuVET supplement will help reduce the irritation and inflammation related to allergies.
You can NOT buy this in the pet stores:
Please order here:  
http://www.nuvet.com/81098   ( If you use order code 81098 ( YOU can get the 15% OFF ON THE Auto ship program )  Many folks get the 90 count bottle every 90 days.
If your Shih Tzu is over 8 pounds - please give 1 full wafer or full teaspoon per day
Tell them Marie sent you from Allexperts


Remember - Good quality foods are a plus -  NO food with junk fillers such as corn -
If you need more help with food, Please let me know
