Can you use human medication for canine pink eye?
If you notice the dog's eye pink, it can be one of two things, Pink Eye also known as Conunctivitis or a bacterial infection.
Pink eye can be transferred from one dog to another or one human to a dog and vice versa, known as Zoonoses.
Common symptoms are pink-ish color, discharge, swollen eye lids and your dog may not be able to open his/her eyelid.
A customer called this morning asking if she could use the medicine that she used for her pink eye for her dog.
Although I am not a certified vet, the general rule of thumb is that any medication may not be transferred from one species or another especially since some eye medication contain steroids which are not recommended for dogs as it may blind them.
As a natural alternative we have pink eye for dog conjunctivitis.
