Steps for Administering Eye Ointment for dogs

1. Place one hand under the dog’s jaw, with the thumb of the same
hand on the lower eyelid. Pull the lower eyelid downward to
expose the inner corner of the lower eyelid.

2. Place the hand holding the medication on top of the dog’s head
with the tube directly above the surface of the eye.
3. Lay a single ribbon of ointment 1/4–1/2” directly on the inside of
the lower eyelid, going from the inner to the outer part.

How to Hold Dog’s Head While Administering Eye Ointment

note *If the ointment is thick, you may warm it under water or in your hands to make
the ointment flow more easily.

** Do not allow the tip of the tube to touch the eye or any other sur face. This
prevents accidental contamination of the medication or damage to the eye.
