Hi everyone, i have a question. Is it bad for water to go into your furbabys eyes? Everytime i bathe her water always seems to go in them

i try my best but it still goes in

. Id just like to know if it hurts her of if its gonna affect her eye in any way. Please let me know worried momma

If you get shampoo in her eyes, it can cause ulcers and discomfort. You can use a little artificial tears ointment in her eyes before her bath to prevent irritation.

What are artificial tears ointiment? I know about the eye drops that are for artificial tears for humans but what about ointiment?

 

[jmm]

It is just a thick version of the drops. I use Genteal for severe dry eye gel for Mikey's other eye problems and have used that in the tub and it works just fine. Otherwise any ointment-style artificial tears (it will be with the drops at the drug store) is fine. Most pet catologs also sell it.

Thank you for the info. I have been using baby shampoo on Lacey's face to wash but once in a while I will notice that after I am done she gets some eye goop for a day or two.

I put Tuffy in his doggles to keep the water & soap out of his eyes and then take them off right at the end to wash his face off. An added perk of the doggles is that he stays super still in the bathtub.

I find Johnson's shampoo to be drying. I prefer to use Absolutely Natural shampoo which is very gentle, tearless, and seems to condition the face decently as well. I would use a gentle, tearless puppy shampoo on the face.

JMM, have you tried Aveno oatmeal baby wash? My vet recommended it for puppies. I've been using it and it doesn't seem to bother our pup's eyes.
