Things that say not to put in the eyes usually do so for a reason. Then
again, many will not necessarily injure you but, might, have a small amount
of contaminant. Things not made for the eyes are not as closely watched and
monitored as things that are. Eyes are very delicate things. That is why you
use the sterile contact solution and you have to be very careful to wash
hands when handling contacts. Eyes are delicate things. Any infection can
grow quickly.
Not everything will cause a problem but many things CAN. if they aren't MADE
for eyes, sometimes it is because they are not safe for eyes. Sometimes,
you can use it and it won't hurt but, even if you have used it in the past,
there may be a time when it will. Even the same container could have a
contamination on the container.
I would talk to the vet. Definitely. You have to be very careful with eyes.
Yours or the dog's. If you use it, and the dogs aren't injured this time,
that's great. But I would never recommend putting ANYTHING into the eyes of
people or animals unless they are specifically designed for eyes. Eyes are
just too precious and too delicate to take chances.

Subject: [boxer lovers] Question
Does anyone know if the medicines in the triple Antibiotic ointment will
cause problems if you put it in the eyes of your pets....? Apparently the
meds are the same as in NeoSporin
Bacitracin Zinc, Neomycin Sulfate and Polymyxin B Sulfate
The reason I asked is because a few of our baby kittens in the past have had
that goowy stuff in their eyes and I put a bit of the ointment in their eyes
and it healed them with just one application...
And the other day my boxers, Marcus and Boo and Maggie were play fighting
and somehow one of the girls must have scratched Marcus's eye because he
started favoring it..and either blinking or keeping it shut.... I noticed it
and opened his eye to see what the problem was and it has a verticle line of
reddish brown in the golden brown part of his eye...not the pupil but the
color around that...and along side of the reddish line it is cloudy a bit...
I was worried it would get infected so I use eye wash to wash it out and the
next day I put some of the ointment in his eye... the next time I looked he
had his eye open...and has been opening it every day and acting like it is
ok but when he goes to sleep he wakes up with goowy stuff in his eye. So I
again wash it out with eye wash and it is ok again until he goes to
sleep....this has been going on for a couple days now... His eye is not
swollen anywhere and he seems to be able to see out of it ...but I
just yesterday noticed it said not to put the ointment in eyes...I did that
two times already and was wondering if some of the meds in the ointment are
too strong for the eye tissue... Marcus does not seem to be having any ill
effects from it and his eye is getting better but I was worried about
putting any more of it since I saw it says not to on the box....Has anyone
else used this ointment this way before?Annette
