My guy had drippy eye for about a couple weeks. I took him to the vet where he was given Neobacimyx-H (ointment with bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin and hydrocortisone acetate) and was told to put it in his eye twice a day for 3 days.
He did poke something in his eye I guess causing him to have a corneal abrasion the vet said.
vet did the green stain and said that is healing on it's own now, but he has a conjunctivitis.
so... my question is..... someone at the barn said that you have to gradually come off of any ointment steroids and not to stop cold turkey like the vet said.
also I read on here somewhere (I think) that steroids are not to be used in an injured eye.
what would you guys do in this situation? Continue like the vet says or otherwise? He has had this medication put in his eye 4 times already so far.
Thanks!
