Is there a home remedy for dogs with eye infections or pink eye?
The best home remedy is to wash the dog’s eyes frequently with water (use sterilize saline water) but if eye is swollen and are aching then this technique won’t help. The homeopathic use of lemon juice for eye infections has worked just fine in my experience. Take half a lemon, sqeeze it gently into a regular size drinking water bottle, and use it as to flush the eye, using the whole bottle over about 3 days. I’ve did this for myself when an eye infection developed while on a remote expedition and no medical facilities/doctors within a few days travel. Since then I’ve used it myself 2-3 time and when the children have gotten pink eye, they perferred this to going to doctor (I gave them the option), I’ve suggested it to friends and yes…they’ve had the same results. I used once for our lab when he got an eye infection (we believe from swimming in the lake). It worked on him. Low levels of citric acid can be found in many eye drops sold over the counter, you can check the ingredent list
