In my experience, Calendula tincture would help as well. I have used both CS and calendula tincture (alternating) and a homeopathic remedy internally in my then 3 week old baby daughters eye for an eye infection that came on rapidly.... had the eye swollen shut and pussy.
I have used CS repeatedly in my dogs eyes as well. I have a big spritzer bottle. I spray it in their face and give them a treat. Spray- give treat, spray give treat. Then after awhile they dont mind me spraying it in their eyes! ;-) They taught us in dog class to do this with their paws, touching and looking in their mouth etc. to get them used to it just in case you need to. There are many different homeopathic remedies for conjunctivitis or eye infection that you could google for as well . Hth Wendy Here is herbal tincture info: <snip> In All You Ever Wanted to Know about Herbs for Pets by Mary L. Wulff-Tilford . Conjunctivitis: is a generic term that refers to inflammation of the ucous membranes and soft tissues surrounding the eye. The problem occurs when bacteria, fungi, or other foreign substances come in contact with these tissues an tearing fails to eliminate the irritating elements. Most cases are acute and are caused by dust, plant material, or other environmental irrants. In these cases, a simple saline eye rinse usually brings relief. An astringent eyewash using raspberry leaf or nettle tea combined with a tea of certified organic goldenseal or Oregon grape root offers further assistance by fighting infection and quickly reducing inflammation and soreness. A Simple Astringent Eyewash Using a clean dropper bottle, combine the following: ½ tsp of cooled clear raspberry leaf or nettle tea * make sure that the tea is absolutely free of particles, you dont want them in your animals eyes. ½ tsp of Oregon grape or goldenseal tea * same, no particles add 1 oz of sterile saline (available in the eye care section of supermarkets and pharmacies) shake the mixture thoroughly the finished solution should be tinted yellow. If possible hold the animlas head to one side and use a dropper pipette to thoroughly rinse the eye laterally, from the nose outward, towar the animals cheek. The idea is to wash any irritating particles away from the animals eye. This process can be repeated two or three times daily until the condition improves. If the rinse causes further irritation, stop using it your companion may be sensitive to the herb you are using. Other herbs to consider for use in eyewashes include calendula, chamomile, thyme, bee balm, chickw2eed, dandelion leaf, or rose petals. Regardless of which herbs you use, be extra careful in assuring that they are free of dust, pollen, or toxic residues (such as herbicides or car exhaust) as the eyes are extremely sensitive to such substances. <end snip from book> -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
