Eye Ointment for infection

[skitch92]

I'm using Gentimicin ointment to treat a possible eye infection in my leo, but ever since i applied it yesterday afternoon, he has had his eyes squinted to the point where they are nearly shut.

Should i continue to apply it if his eyes are shut like this, or should i give him a day to get used to it?

Thanks.

I would continue with whatever course of treatment the Dr. prescribed. If the squinting is worrying you, maybe give the vet a call and ask his opinion. Hopefully they won't be able to find a way to charge you for that.

The ointment itself isn't really all that comfortable to have on your eyeball, that may be why he's squinting. Gentamicin is great stuff, but it takes longer than a day to work. Give it time.
