Conjunctivitis Remedies

How can you determine if your dog or cat is suffering from eye conjunctivitis?  Well, there are some pretty straightforward, can't miss symptoms when it comes to this problem.  You may notice a reddening of your pet's eyes, as well as a thick discharge coming from the corner of one or both eyes.  You might also see that your pet is rubbing its face on the floor or on other objects and is continually scratching around the eye area.  The animal may be producing excess tears which will cause your pet to blink a lot more than what it normally would, and due to a buildup of conjunctivitis may not be able to open or close its eyes completely.

Before you begin to treat the problem it is important to determine the exact cause of the conjunctivitis.  It is quite common that allergies, different types of infections and feline respiratory diseases will be the onset of this particular condition.  Though in many cases, there will be other signs or symptoms of the virus or allergies that accompany the conjunctivitis.  However it is also possible that the conjunctivitis could be a result of some type of physical damage to the eye, such as a thorn or some other foreign object lodged in the eye.  This is the kind of situation that you want to be particularly careful about as attempting to treat the eye without having the object removed could cause further damage. 

In order to clean the eye area you will want to use about a liter of warm water and very gently pour it over the affected eye(s).  Using a piece of soft, cotton wool soaked in the water, carefully wipe around the eye and remove any discharge, but do not wipe over the eye.  Once you have cleared most of it away you will be able to more carefully examine the eye to determine if there is any type of object inside the eye that should not be there.  If there is any possibility that this scenario exists then do not attempt to treat the problem yourself. 

Alternatively, there are a number of homeopathic herb treatments that can be very successful in clearing up the problem of conjunctivitis due to allergies and other possible infections.  Some of the best remedies include Euphrasia, Aconite, Pulsatilla and Sanicula.  These herbs can be purchased at your local health or homeopathic store or through numerous online sources.

ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT

[YEA]  05/31/2010: Lisa from Wichita Falls, Texas writes: "pet eye problems

a kitten that I rescued 2 or 3 years ago( I still have him) kept having eye problems. For 2 or 3 weeks I would clean his eyes with a warm wet wash cloth. They were better but not cured. Someone told me to put antibiotic ointment just under the eyes being careful not to get it in the eyes. Just put some on your finger and rub it in the fur around the bottom of the eye. I did this 3 times a day for about a week or so and his eyes were cured! No more problems."



07/24/2010: Wizzlet from Somerville, Mass replies: "The last comment talked about pouring 1 liter of water over the cat's eye. I would caution about doing this as, if any water gets into the cat's ears, your cat could end up having a lot more problems. Ear infections, loss of balance and many other issues. I would stick to cleaning the eye with a clean sterile gauze. Then use your antibiotic ointment."

[YEA]  08/28/2009: Faith77fairfield from Waterloo, New York, USA writes: "I tried apple cider vinegar and colloidal silver and both helped but the infection kept coming back. I couldn't afford $200 the vet wanted so out of desperation I decided to use my leftover antibiotic capsule (Amoxicillian). My sister who is a nurse used my cats weight times 5 mg. antibiotic per pound and figured that a 500 mg. capsule could be divided into 16 dosages. From information I read about, I gave my cat one dosage a day for 10 days and we are now 7 days off the amoxicillian and there is no sign of the infection coming back. You can tell that it is still healing as there is crusty stuff, like scabbing still coming out of his eyes. I am glad I used the antibiotic. This cat is a stray that just showed up in my yard one day and he is a delight. Lastly, I must say I am very angry that I can't afford to go to a vet. Everything is outragious. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this sight."



07/10/2010: Allison from Houston, Tx replies: "Just a gentle reminder that anytime antibiotics are taken internally, whether for humans or for pets, it's a good idea to follow up with a course of probiotics (i.e. Lactobaccillis acidophiles, yogurt, etc.) for a week or two to replenish the good floras in the digestive tract. Even one course of antibiotics can wipe out all the good guys in your gut, which can compromise a weak immune system and create further problems down the road. I learned the hard way to have a cat that developed chronic constipation following a course of antibiotic, which eventually led to the development of a toxic mega colon that required multiple surgeries. So don't forget the probiotics anytime after completing a course of antibiotic, humans and animals."

My 8 week old kitten was suffering from very severe conjunctivitis and it had gotten so bad I thought he wasnt going to make it. I brought him to 2 different vets who were giving me the runaround and I needed to help my baby boy feel better before it was too late. My husband was doing some research and we came across this site, he flew out of the room telling me I needed to get some ACV with mother in it immedietly. I honestly thought he was nuts. We rubbed some on the back of his neck, added a capful in his food, dipped his paws in a concentration of 50 percent water and 50 percent ACV and put one part ACV and 3 parts water in his water bowl. By the next morning my kitten was starting to open his eye and eat again. today was his second day with this treatment and he is running around like he never got sick and we are able to see part of his eye again. We are going to be doing this treatment for about another week or so and hopefully he will return back to normal. We also used a saline solution 1 cup of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt on his eye 3 times a day and he loves it. I feel like this site has been a true blessing to me and my kitty."



06/01/2010: Lisa from Wichita Falls, Texas replies: "You can also use antibiotic ointment for the eyes. Not in the eyes! You just rub some in the fur just under the eyes 3 times a day until the eyes clear up. I did this for a recue kitty 3 years ago(I still have him). I was using a warm wet cloth several times a day and it helped but not cured. Someone who worked in a no kill shelter told me about the ointment. It worked. In a week, the little eyes were clear and beautiful blue!!"

Unbelievable! If I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it. My little Yorkie got an eye infection which caused a whitish discharge and created these big boogers in his eyes for about 3 days. It wasn't 'til the 4th day when he woke up almost unable to open one of his eyes, I decided to get on my favorite website for natural cures (Earth Clinic) for a solution. Everyone raved about ACV and so I decided to try it. I followed most peoples instructions and since my Yorkie is so small I just mixed 1 Tbl. water with 1 Tbl. AVC and rubbed in on the back of his neck. The very same day it seemed it have been disappearing and by the morning it was completely gone. He woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed and I was amazed at how well it worked. This sure beats going to the vet for some eye drops which would cost me a nice little penny. Thanks to all for the input and thank goodness for this website."

However he still continues to tear with one eye when eating & going to litter box to "push out." I also tried Saline Solution & warm compress.. but he still tears a clear lining dwn to nose. Realizing, internally is the way to go, he ONLY drinks water from the Bathroom tub fawcett. How long does the tear last..and how long with the ACV & Saline Sol... ANYone?!?"

I have a four year old dougue de bordeaux who developed conjunctivitis in one eye. Like most others a vet bill looked likely to overwhelm us. I looked at your site, considered the ACV and thought it's six australian dollars what the heck. Now with my dog being almost 65 kilograms I thought the capful recommmended for a little maltese and the like would not suffice. So I administered about half a cup to the back of my dogs neck and rubbed it well in. OK so he smelt like someone had urinated in a pair of old sports shoes, but sure enough with 24 hours, I kid you not, not a sign of conjunctivitis, no discharge, no swelling or redness. Even now two weeks later, no reccurence."

Aliment: Pink Eye/conjunctivitis
Cure: 1/2 apple cider vinegar 1/2 water placed at the back of my dog's neck. (Same location where flea preventative is placed).

It works! I must confess that I was still doubtful, even after reading all of the "yea's". I filled a ear syringe with half ACV and half water and proceeded to squirt past his sleek fur along the back of his neck and rubbed it in. Thirty minutes later, it looked a lot better. So, I decided to wait a few hours before using the rest of the mixture.

I woke up this morning and it was gone!

What a life saver!"

I called for a vet appointment but the next available was Monday, 2 days away so until the appointment, I googled cat eye infection and read about ACV treatment. I happened to have some Organic ACV in the house so decided to try it, just a bit on the nape of her neck and a capfull in her water bowl. The next morning her eye was much better. By the time I got back from work, her eye was almost perfect! No weeping at all, nice and clear, and she was no longer holding it shut. She still was blinking it a bit so I reapplied the ACV to her neck this evening but I am amazed at the results. Her eye improved 90% in one night after a single application!"

OMG - It really works. My Bichon suffered with eye issues for YEARS. Each vet vist cost nearly $200 for the service plus anitbiotic cream...but the infection would return.

Last night after seeing more of those green eye-boogies with the black crust, I decided to search for a more holistic solution -> EarthClinic lead me to rub a capful of organic ACV to the back of his neck and rub extra virgin coconut oil around his eyes. This morning I was gerated by a bright-eye dog instead of the usual raccoon-masked dog. Thank you EC"

Our 17 year old siamese had an eye infection and I had been using ointment twice a day for 4 days and there was no inprovement. I read about the apple cider vinegar and all the testimonials were very interesting. I went and got a bottle of apple cider vinegar and when I got home I applied a cap full to her neck. Later that evening I applied another capfull to her neck and rubbed it in really well. The next morning at 6:30 her eye was completely open and bright. I was so pleased with the quick success of such a simple fix. I called our sons who also have pets to share the news so if they ever have their pets sick with eye infection to try apple cider vinegar first. Thanks, thanks, thanks. It was nice not to have to spend another $100.00 at the vets."

I have tried the apple cider vinegar on the nape of the neck and on the paws, i was just wondering does it make a difference if the ACV isn't organic?? I have heard some people say they use it. does it matter?? So far ive done it for 2 days and nothing really has changed, am i doing something wrong???"

I started use regular store bought on myself and animals. It gave a small improvement to our ailments. After reading how much a difference many people had using organic I thought to try it. It was like night and day. Plus organic tastes soo much better. Its the enzymes in the organic i think that makes it better."

They recomended a human eye ointment to be used 5 times a day. Chloramhenicol antibiotic 1% either cream or drops.

[YEA]  09/17/2009: Danielle from Cleveland, Oh writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar helped my 3 year old yorkie with an eye infection. An hour after a normal bath Monday night I noticed her squinting her eyes and the lids looked a bit swollen. Shortly after that I noticed her eyes tearing she was pawing at her face. After a few hours she didnt want to open her eyes at all and it was apparent she was very uncomfortable. Throughout the night I rinsed her eyes with lukewarm water to try help with her discomfort. The next morning I took her to her vet only to be told it was most likely shampoo in her eyes. They also did a rinse and sent us home with an ointment to be applied every 8 hours for the next 6 days. That night, I read about the ACV remedy on this site and frankly I found it unbelievable but since so many people said it worked, I stored it away just in case. The next morning she was exactly the same. Didnt want to get out of bed, wanted to be right up under me at all times and her eyes were mostly closed. She was so uncomfortable and helpless and whining and I felt so bad that I couldnt help her so I tried my "unbelievable" home remedy. I soaked up a teaspoon full of the ACV in a cotton ball and applied it to the back of her neck squeezing the cotton and rubbing the ACV into her skin. I put her back in bed. About 30 minutes later to my surprise she hopped out of bed and met me in the kitchen tail wagging and eyes open! I was thrilled! I dont know how or why it works but it did for her and she obviously feels better. I will be using the ACV for the next 10 days instead of the vet's ointment."

[YEA]  08/19/2009: Dee1969 from Luton, England writes: "My cat had a red, sticky eye and he couldn't open it. I was really stressed about it as he looked so uncomfortable and it was on a Sunday so the vet was closed. After researching the symptoms and finding out what it was I thought I'd search for alternaive treatments. Thankfully I came across this site. After reading so many positve reports about Apple Cider Vinegar treatment I went to buy some straight away.

I mixed 1 tsp of ACV with 2 tsp cooled boiled water, parted the fur on his neck poured some of it onto it and held a cotton wool ball on it for a few seconds. I also wet another one with the mixture and wiped over his eye and then wet another one and wiped down from the corner of his eye to his nose. I basically just folllowed the advice on this site.

Smokey opened his eye almost instantly (although not completely). Within a few hours his eye looked back to normal apart from a small amount of discharge in the corner of his eye. I used some more mixture to clean the eye area a few more times to make sure.

What a massive relief, a course of treatment from a vet would've taken longer to work and I saved on vet bills. The ACV only cost £1.35 and knowing that it was a natural remedy was a bonus. Thank you to everyone who posted this remedy previously. Dee"

Less than 48 hours later, the cat's eye is completely 100% better! I don't have exact measurements, but I filled the vinegar bottle cap WITH vinegar and put it on the back of the cat's neck as best I could.

I also had a combo of vinegar and water--water with just a splash of vinegar, the smell shouldn't be overpowering-- which I put on a paper towel and wiped his eye twice a day.

I honestly never believed this would work, but it ABSOLUTELY did."

[YEA]  06/21/2009: Georgina from Hobart, TAS Australia writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar for dog's eye infection

I noticed my 2 yo Labrador had some gunk in the corner of one eye 2 days ago. It looked like the normal eye-boogies he gets so I ignored it until later that day when it was clear he had an eye infection, as I could see drak green/grey gunk inside the eye itself. It was a Saturday morning so I called the vet to make an appt for later that day. I really didn't want to fork out $130-odd bucks (by the time you factor in the weekend consult plus anti-biotic prescription and then the follow-up visit), so I started searching for home remedies. I've used this site before for some opinions on extra virgin coconut oil (which I now use solely as my beauty routine and for any cuts/abrasions/infections) as well as Apple Cider Vinegar (which I use for digestive balancing).

I saw all the posts about dabbing ACV on the back of a pet's neck and thought, well if this many people swear by it I'll give it a try. I tried this as well as a weak solution (just enough to colour the water) to flush my dog's eye. After I washed the eye out I applied EVCO on a cotton ball to soothe the skin and hopefully help with the infection. I did this several times over the course of the day and it seemed to improve so I cancelled my vet appt, thinking at worst I could take him on the Monday. I thought the EVCO was doing the job so I continued with this as I figured it was also more comfortable for my dog. His eye got worse again in the afternoon and was quite yucky by evening. By this time it was too late for a vet visit and I felt like a terrible "mum"!

I tried the ACV on the back of the neck again, and this time I used at least a quarter of a cup undiluted, as he has SUPER thick hair and I really had to work it in to reach the skin. Most of it rubbed off or stayed in the outer coat I think. Anyway, enough must have got in this time because he started really quickly improving, so I did one more dose before bed. This morning I very tentatively checked on him thinking it would either be much better or totally disgusting. Luckily, it was much better and today after a couple of the same treatments it's looking really good. Still some eye-boogie but the reddening inside lower eyelid has really improved. I still used some EVCO for soothing the eye area, he seemed to like that.

So he stinks like high heaven and the house smells like "rotten feet" as my boyfriend tells me, but he's just as impressed as I am and I can't believe this actually WORKED. I don't know HOW this could work but the main thing is it does so without risk of harm. As any lab owner would know, they traditionally have pretty sensitive skin, but this doesn't appear to bother him. It saved us a wad of cash and it cleared his infection quicker than anti-biotics would have. I think he knows it's working too because he willingly leans his neck toward me when I put it on now. Cute little fella! :-)"



07/19/2009: Gail from Auburn, WA replies: "I was able to decipher the ACV to meaning Apple Cider Vinegar, but could you please tell me what the EVCO means. I have recently adopted a rescued malamute and her eyes are continuing to produce more green goo, so I am going to try the vinegar application today using your 1/4 cup recommendation."

I have spent hundreds of dollars and several different types of ointments, drops, trips to the vets, etc...totally exhausting trying to get on top of this infection. I cannot believe it took a simple home remedy to clear up my cat(s) eyes. I just could not believe this was just such a simple cure. I tried it, no, seriously, my cats eyes that have been just laced in red, ARE CLEAR. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have believed it. If you are suffering with this eye problem in your cats or dogs, you really need to try this, for them most of all and also for your peace of mind. I used one tablespoon of Apple Cidar Vinegar to two tablespoons of water. I put it on the back of the neck and rubbed it in, and I also (CAREFULLY NOT TO GET TOO CLOSE TO THE EYES), with a disposable make up pad, wiped each side of their nose below the eye where their eyes drain, BUT NOT TOO CLOSE TO THEIR EYE ITSELF. Cleared it right up."

[YEA]  06/04/2009: Kelly from Farmersville, California writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar For Cat Conjunctivitis:

Thank God for this website! My cat, Beau, was suffering from conjunctivitis in both eyes. His left eye was swolllen and goopy and both were red and inflamed. He had this problem for about a week, and I was doing everything I could to help him. We could not afford an expensive trip to the vet, so I did everything humanly possible to help him at home. He was so sick that he could not eat or drink on his own. I had to feed him soft food with a feeding syringe and give him water with a large dropper. I was careful not to give him too much of either one. I gave him a daily dose of a high-calorie vitamin and mineral gel to boost his energy and help him gain weight and regain his appetite. I kept both of his eyes cleaned out with an eye wash made for cats and dogs. I was so desperate to find any remedy that would help Beau, that I finally went online and found this website. I read rave reviews about apple cider vinegar, as a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to cure this problem. At first, it sounded too good to be true, but I was willing to try anything to help Beau. His eye problem did not clear up until I used this remedy. It took only two days for the problem to clear up completely, whereas, if I had taken him to the vet, I would have had to give him antibiotics and it would've taken longer for the infection to clear up. Now, Beau is eating and drinking on his own, just like before, and he is starting to gain weight. This is the answer to my prayers! It saved Beau's eyesight and saved us an expensive trip to the veterinarian. I cannot say enough good things about this remedy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
