This is an ointment that is given directly in the eye(s) when your pet has an eye or eyelid infection with inflammation.
Your veterinarian will determine the dose and frequency of dosing that is right for your pet. Apply ointment to the affected eye(s) by placing one hand under and around your pet's chin in order to lift his/her head upward so he/she is looking towards the ceiling. Apply all ointment to the lower lid of the eye without touching the tip of the tube directly to the eye. Gently massage all ointment by helping your pet to blink a couple of times after medication has been applied. Your veterinarian can show you how to apply this medication correctly if needed.
There are two antibiotics (Neomycin and polymixin B) that will work to halt bacterial growth and kill the bacteria causing your pets infection. The steroid (dexamethasone) will help to reduce association inflammation by blocking the production of substances that trigger an inflammatory response.

I use this medication for my horse who has allergy that cause her eyes to water. This stops the itchiness, puffiness and irritation . It is prescribed by my Veterinarian and is used only for this condition . It keeps her from rubbing her eyes and possibly causing and eye scratch .
Both of my horses and several of my lesson horses have managed to get eye injuries so I’ve needed a lot of Dex. One tube goes a LONG way and this price is amazing - at a vet clinic it’s been around $30.
My vet prescribed this for my dog's dry and irritated eyes. Chewy's price was almost 50% cheaper than the price I was paying at the vet for the exact same thing.
I needed this for my pups eyes. It's works great and got here quick.
This medicine is about as half as cheap than buying it at the vet. The best part is that you can choose to buy through the vet and just have Chewy process it. Great way to support my local vet as well as get my medicine for a better price. Chewy handled all getting the prescription information and it was here in a couple of days.
My vet turned me on to it but for some reason the ointment version is hard to get locally. Luckily, Chewy has it and deliveries are prompt. Fred's not the most agreeable of patients. Even the ointment is not real easy to apply but the drops are impossible.
Very easy ordering and simplified prescription process. Had the product within a couple of days. Couldn't have been easier.
My dog really benefited from this steroid ointment and reduced the swelling significantly. My vet used the ointment rather than the drops this time as it was more soothing. My dog had no adverse reaction at all which was great.
I don't care for the ointment. I personally prefer using the solution.
We have only been using Chewy for a short time, but so far are very pleased with the order process, finding products we want/need and for a good price. Shipping is always very speedy as well. Thank you!!
