How to put Dog Eye Drops in? | EASY!! + Veterinary approved

[@stella1283]

That dog is a saint! Try to do the same to a regular dog, not just once for youtube but every day.

[@dillydilly7722]

I would pay money to see her do this successfully with my dog, not happening. He would rather die than get his eye drops.

[@barbaral3819]

Mine seems to be the same but I'm gonna try her technique

[@suemaclellan5230]

I hear you! It’s difficult with my dog as well!

[@jessebolton7442]

lol mine too 😅

[@justmyopinion2]

Same here. My dog had surgery on his eye yesterday, an ulcer on his cornea. We are supposed to add 8 drops a day, NO way!

[@helloits_morgan]

I watched this to prepare myself, but my dog was actually pretty calm. Thanks for the tips!

[@jtrenchard1974]

I have always done the reverse. Rather than wielding the eye drops like a weapon and going in from the front, i have found approaching from the rear/side putting my left hand under their chin while using the thumb of my left hand to part the eyelid. The heel of my right hand is resting on the head of the dog, so if it moves the eyedrops move with it and don't jab them in the eye. I will have to make a video of it - its so much better and natural feeling. Edit: Also, do it before feeding or a treat so they associate it with something good. Try to only part their eyelid when the drop is about to fall from the bottle. Another commentor mentioned ulcers - don't worry it will be fine with the drops in the vast majority of cases. My older dog (about 15 now) is a Lhasa Apso who for the last 7 years has had 8 (unless ulcers or other complications then more) eye drops a day of three + types. I also have done insulin injections twice a day for those seven years. Your daily observation of your dog is the best weapon against these sort of problems - when their eyes get worse or something is going on with them, you as an attentive owner will know, get them to the vet and follow the treatment to the letter. Vets are usually very good at providing correct diagnoses and help/advice/medication.

[@amandacoxton]

Yeeeah... This did not work on my dog😅. She just runs away and then if 2 people try holding her she's like a bucking bronco 🤦‍♀️

[@theasianbaron7132]

Same thing I am unable to get him eye drops, But it seems like my vet managed to do it in seconds.

[@krystaldaniels7940]

Same here. It takes me and a helper to hold her down and pray the drop gets in!

[@gina248]

You just described what my bulldog is doing right now! Lol hence why I’m at this video! Lol

[@krystaldaniels7940]

@@gina248 hey, i found that i could get the drops in MUCH easier while she was sleeping!! I started doing it first thing in the morning, before she even woke up and then again late at night after she was sound asleep. Worked MUCH better that way, but if you have to do two different drops like i did, you gitta be QUICK so they dont wake up before you get the 2nd drop in! Good luck!💖

[@gina248]

@@krystaldaniels7940 mines a ointment I have to put in and I tried this lol he wakes up and takes off! It’s like he can see the tube coming towards him in his dream! 😂

[@DCVaStorm]

I could use a straight jacket for my dog. Calm is not possible. How do I hold my 8 lb miniature pinscher's body still, hold her head still, and hold her eye open with one hand while placing the drop with the other hand? Not easy at all. As soon as she realizes a drop is coming, all bets are off. She pulls, pushes, twists, and closes her eyes. Complete resistance.

[@Lucydiemond]

I WISH my dog was like this. 😂 You've got an already confident dog in your care.

[@alinamiller5152]

Lol this works only if you have a calm dog. My dog runs away as soon as he sees the eye drops bottle. He also does not want any treats when he's afraid, and he forgets all the commands he knows. I guess I was hoping this video would help with that.

[@melindaababyy]

Ugh same!!

[@dominiclane8538]

My dogs got a scratch on his eye and we are having an absolute nightmare getting the drops in

[@drlindsaybutzer]

Oh no I’m sorry!!! Try giving treats

Same. It's a nightmare. Literally thrashes around and throws his head back.

[@dominiclane8538]

@@dannyduggan4324 it's healed thank god with no further complications but what a nightmare it was trying to get them in . Same has what your having , I eventually found if I backed him intoo a corner where he could not move he eventually gave up fighting me ,well until the next time at least ..I hope I never have too go through this again

[@gina248]

Did u find a solution? Because I’m having an nightmare! And my dog need eye ointment not drops. I’m about to take him to the vet everyday just so he can get his meds

[@dominiclane8538]

@@gina248 we just had too back him into a corner so he could not move and get the drops inand also had too keep an eye on him (no pun intended) so he could not scratch at it .he had one of them things around his head but he kept trying to rub his face on the floor . That's the only advice I can give really ,it was an absolute nightmare

Thank you for sharing! I have to do this tonight with my malipoo mini and this gave me the confidence that I needed!

Thank you for this video! This video was great. My dog's eye drops were so easy this time. He's usually a hundred pound pain in the butt about eye drops.

[@emilish624]

thank you so much. i am a dog sitter and needed to learn this

[@lacynix3069]

Oh my goodness, thank you! We just brought our elderly shih tzu home from the vet with an ulcer. If meds don’t work, he’ll need surgery. He’s a sweetheart but completely uncooperative. I followed this video’s advice with the help of my teen-his favorite person-and I’m not sure he even noticed we were putting the drops in. This video is a godsend for our poor old baby. Thank you.

[@mastercaptainevan]

I hope your dog is doing alright now.

[@themossynook]

Very helpful, thank you

[@DHSFEMA]

Thank you for this video, you explained and showed how to use these drops, now I feel confident in doing this for my Dog.

[@lorenzoacar5128]

I have a staffordshire bull terriër and she won’t even let me go near it with the eye drops she literally is fighting for her life

[@gomzify]

This will be helpful... I am going to treat my girl in this fashion ... hopefully she co-operates ...

[@KellyKels23]

Just noticed yesterday my 2 dogs left eyes are draining, one of them a lot more than the other & bought some eye drops last night….did not go well, the only eye drops I saw at persmart was this gel kind and if I can’t get it in the eye it just rolls right off, a liquid might’ve been easier. I try to quickly squirt some in her eye while I’m holding a treat firmly in one hand but that’s not super accurate but worried she might bite if I try to hold her head and force it and since she’s a big dog I don’t want to take that chance I’ll try this technique with a muzzle but if that doesn’t work I guess it’s off to the vet 😩

[@thisisit4666]

Technique is better than other vets’ videos. My Golden is 4 months and she let me do my thing then went to bed lol

[@beverlyrazo7037]

When veterinarians prescribe eye drops do they prescribe the medication while there looking at the dog face to face the left eye and right eye or looking at the dog face to face and my left would be there right and my right would be there left eye ?

[@nickp.1434]

Thanks, I will give it a try. I have a pomsky and gets teardrop stains on her eyes. I live in Paris, so finding the right product is difficult at times. The bottle I have is huge so it scares her. I had given up after five tries. Thanks again.

What do you do if the dog has painful eyes and putting the drops makes him go crazy?

[@palmvegas7878]

when my dog (a maltese shitzu) sees the eye dropper he literally turns into cujo. nothing like this dog whatsoever unfortunately 😂

What is a safe lubricant eye drop for dogs like antibiotic?

[@kaelaknight820]

I’m sorry, But that is not a difficult dog. I have a pug with no nose/muzzle and a leash doesn’t tell them anything. He writhes and pushes. There was too much pressure on his throat from trying to control his head that led to him foaming at the mouth from the pressure. So atm I have no hope.

[@lolly5453]

@Kaela Knight. Wondered how you’re getting on? I too have a pug who was prescribed eye drops today (five times a day!! And we haven’t even managed to get the first lot in yet!) he is terrified and doesn’t want me anywhere near even with plenty of treats and persuasion and reassurance.... I do hope you and your pup found a way to make it work 🙏🏼🐾💖

[@paulat8679]

I adopted a Yorky and I thought oh my God I’ll never get the drops in this dog he came with an ulcer overtime. We wrapped him tighten a towel. We got the drops in. It was very difficult and now he takes it like a champ so now I have another Yorkie that I adopted from Arkansas and he’s got conjunctivitis in his eyes and let me tell you It’s hell to get the drops in this guy’s eyes so I’m having a hard time so they make it look so easy but when you got a dog thrash and kicking going crazy trying to bite you I guess you gotta get a little muzzle according to my vet if it’s really bad put the little muzzle on and they focus on the muzzle and not on the eyes good luck everybody.

[@kimamey]

The way she describes it isn't that helpful as they can still struggle. What I did notice is that she seems to use the wall behind the dog and the cupboards to one side to help her. I'm not sure why she didn't mention this as it might make a difference. Of course you still have the problem that they get to know what you're going to do and think of ways to avoid it.

That dog isn't fighting you.thats far from a stubborn rebellious energetic dog that doesn't want eye drops. These methods don't work on one that actually is that way

Well… a dog that is really fighting you .. you will have to maybe do sneak attack methods or use sedatives 30 minutes before :( or what to you suggest from experience??

Nope. Doesn't work. The dog in the video is cooperative. Mine jumps and pulls away.

I'm facing the same problem and seriously considering letting my dog go blind so that I don't end up hating him. It's so sad.

[@lolly5453]

Could you maybe try a muzzle so you don’t get bitten at least? I totally sympathise, my dog is terrified of the drops, doesn’t matter what I try, he turns into a maniac the second he senses the bottle close by. Hope you managed to find a way, I am praying for all of us with eye-drop hating dogs!! 🙏🏼😫🆘

[@AdrianMark]

@@lolly5453 hey! Thanks for the comment. Yes, I did end up muzzling him and I found a way that works wonders. We were able to put the eyedrops in in 5 seconds flat. There's a special harness vets and pet groomers use to clip nails, it lifts your pet off the ground with a sling under their bellies. This prevents them from thrashing around too much, (which my dog still does because his eyes are sore poor thing), but they become much more manageable. It's still a two person job, one to help stabilise the pet in the hammock and one to hold they eye open and put the drop in but it's so much easier! If you're looking for the hammock, just search for pet clipping hammock or pet nail trimming harness and I reckon you will come across it on Google.

[@lolly5453]

@@AdrianMark So happy to hear you found a way! We are finally making progress too, after a very frustrating and upsetting start, we’ve found a way that works - but I did actually think of the grooming harness thing, so it’s a coincidence you mention that! Thankfully, one day my dog just decided against the run/fight/hide tactic, and will now cooperate for just long enough to get it over with!! Think he’s realised it’s easier that way! Can very much sympathise with your situation- it’s so hard being responsible for helping our pets, whilst being fought off and causing stress for them. Good to know you and pup are doing better and I hope pups eyes are on the mend very soon!! ☺️🤞🏼💖

[@kevinrtres]

OK, so this comment now after making another about 4 months ago. regarding the impossibly docile doggie in the picture compared to the hugely ferocious 7kg Maltese-Jack Russel cross terror my wife and I faced. Wifey got bitten twice or thrice. I got the nip once. And ferocious terror was having none of it. Enter the dragon - in the form of little dried lung treats. In desperation we thought let's just try that old trick - take your meds, get a reward. So I got me some cheap welding gloves to use as protection. I grabbed and held HUGE TERROR's mouth and wifey did the dangerous drop act. Then after that first attempt and success we proceeded to offer the treats. Now understand this - this terror had never ever succumbed to any such bribery - would just sniff at the offering and turn up the snooty nose and begone! Not this time however! It was like magic! Huge terror suddenly turned into begging, tail waving little thingy! So then, two little treats later and there was a change already. Still had to drive the now terrified terror around for a while to sooth the nerves. To cut the story short - after about a week or two - wifey can now basically put the drops in all by herself - just with the promise of treats! What used to take 10 minutes of struggle is now over in abut 15 seconds with drops into both eyes and the beautiful little doggies as docile as you could get. That's my experience - good luck to you if you have such a small doggie. Too bad if your HUGE TERROR is indeed a HUGE terror weighing 35-50kgs....I wish you well in your struggles.

[@benniebella]

So easy for you guys to say when you've got a huge table he's lying on and the dog doesn't fight you whatsoever it's ridiculous that everybody assumes that you're way works when my dog fights the hell out of me to get eye drops in his eyes.

It is NOT easy! First I cant hold my dogs muzzle he is a bulldog! Second I love how you use a well tamed calm dog, my bulldog is well trained and follows commands but not for this! He just runs around like a maniac, he sees that bottle and takes off! I can’t even sneak it, he sees it!

[@Akuma-Clan]

Already a minute in i can tell u this doesn’t work, he wont calm down he knows the eye drops there because he sees it while u put it in his eye, giving him treats does nothing.

[@lolly5453]

I’m in the same spot with my dog, he is just too smart and is constantly looking for that bottle in my hand, doesn’t matter how many treats or distractions I try. Really I think I just need a couple extra people to hold onto him for me!! 🙈 Good luck if you’re having similar problems. Hopefully we’ll find a way!
