  • In general, it is recommended to wait 5-15 minutes between eye drop administrations but the antibiotic that has been prescribed may have specific instructions. Your veterinarian will be able to recommend the order they should be given and how long to wait in between. Thank you, VetRxDirect

• Will Bayer ever increase the amount of product from 3 ml to 10 ml? Do you have another hyalauronic acid based product for the eye? My cat has feline herpes ulcer of the cornea as well as leukemia so I need to give it daily for her life. What can you offer as far as an antiviral? As far as an antibiotic should she ever get an infection in the eye??

  • There is a product called Optimend which is a 2% hyaluronic acid gel for corneal repair. This product comes in a 10mL bottle. If you are interested in Optimend, consult your veterinarian to determine whether this is an appropriate treatment for your cat's corneal ulcer. Antivirals and antibiotics require prescriptions and their use is determined by the veterinarian. Please consult your veterinarian to determine appropriate treatments for your cat's infections. Thank you, VetRxDirect

• Can this product be used on a Persian cat with entropism where the bottom eyelid slides up under the edge of the upper eyelid? She had surgery for this in 2008 but is looks like it didn't take...the cornea or eye tissue under the upper eyelid gets red and irritated from this condition...will this med remove the irritation and redness there? and how often is it to be applied in the eye?

• My dog is on Remend and Tobramycin for a corneal abrasion. She gets a white, milky discharge often after the drops. It is usually around her inner eyelid and will work itself out when I apply wetting drops. Is this just the healing??

  • FYI, my dog has one dry eye and before we figured out the optimal treatment (Optimmune + eye lubricant with haluronic acid) he would get a milky discharge (eye boogers). Often cleaning the eye with saline or applying eye lubricant, would bring out mucus that was already there and would have discharged or crusted. That happened daily until we reached optimal treatment, but also days we miss a dose.

  • It is a general recommendation to allow at least 5 minutes between drops when administering. It is also recommended to instill the eyedrops in order of least viscous (thick) to most viscous and instill eye drops delivered in an aqueous base (water based) before an oil based product. Make sure adequate time is allowed between these drops. If you are still noticing the discharge after applying, contact your veterinarian to receive further evaluation.

• Can this medication make my dog's eye look like it has a film over it??

  Asked by susandv

  • Susan, The manufacturer does not report this as a side effect or a common observation upon administration. Speak with your veterinarian about possible causes for a cloudy film if this does not resolve after the drops are discontinued. Thank you, VetRxDirect
