    Dog Eye Infection
    I noticed today that my dog is rubbing at her eyes lots with her paws. She has a green/white discharge coming from both eyes and her corneas appear red. This is VERY similar to when I had an eye infection months ago (pink eye with discharge). I still have the Voltaren drops (anti-inflammatory/alalgestic) drops that I took that aren't expired (dose was 1 drop 4/5 times daily). Is it OK to start giving my dog these drops to clear her infection? I am unable to get her in to see a vet for 2 days and don't want to leave it untreated that long.

    I can't say, but usually I discourage that sort of thing. It could work fine. You might do a search on it + dog.
