Are Aloe Vera preparations safe to use for eye conditions?
In all cases if an eye problem is suspected in a pet, always take it to the vet. Once the vet has diagnosed the problem then check with him/her that they agree on the use of Aloe Vera. When I started using Aloe Vera for eye problems I always used the Aloe Activator diluted 50:50 with sterile water. I soon realised however that similarly diluted Aloe Veterinary Formula worked just as well and the container lasted longer. The diluted Aloe Vera is excellent for itchy eyes in the case of ‘pink eye’ and I also use it for ‘red eye’ and ’blue eye’. A number of farmers have also had good results when using it for ‘New Forest Eye’ in cattle.
