Every Spring, my shepherd gets this wierd eye infection, where they swell up and scab over in the corners, and ooze pus. She rubs them with her paw constantly, making the infection worse.

I drink alot of tea, and green tea. Last year I tried the green tea bags cooled and squeezed in her eyes twice a day worked perfectly to clear up her eye infection. Which was pretty severe, by the way. It took about a week and a half.

This year, I just used any old tea bags, Liptons, or peppermint tea bags, worked just the same. I caught it early this time, so its only taken a couple days and her eyes are completely clear, its amazing.

I told my X boyfriend from Russia, about this remedy, and he said, "O yeah, my Mom used to do that for pink eye all the time for us kids growing up"

You can make a tea from fennel seeds and mint. Boil, strain, cool till just warm and bathe the eyes.

Thank you so much for this remedy, I used green tea on my English Springer Spaniel and after the first application within 1 hour his eyes cleared up and looked a thousand times better. I'm continuing for a few day every few hours to make sure. Thanks again for sharing!
