If your mini donkey has recently scratched or injured his eye then your vet may have prescribed ointment or eye drops as part of the treatment process. Sometimes two ointments will be prescribed to treat the eye. One dilates the eye while the other is an antibiotic to treat the eye. To apply ointment to your donkey’s eye, gently squeeze some of the ointment onto your index finger. Next, use your other finger and your thumb to gently open the eyelid and place the ointment on the lower part of the eyelid or directly on the eye. Close the donkey’s eyelid to help spread the ointment over the entire surface of the eye. If applying eye drops, follow the same procedure to open the eye. This time hold the drops at an angle to squeeze a drop in the lower eyelid or directly to the eye. Ask our vet Marietta, GA for assistance. Visit their site for more information.
