1.0 Typical Causes of an Eye Infection

• Allergies (i.e. food allergies, environmental allergies)
• Bacteria
• Debris - foreign object in the eye – i.e. particles of grass, dirt, etc.
• Debris and /or irritation can occur very simply
• The dog putting his/her head out a vehicle window when the vehicle is in motion;
• Running through tall grasses – a small particle of grass seed may get into a dog’s or cat’s eye
• Sand/dirt whipped up and airborne by a strong wind
• Sticking his/her head into an animal burrow/hole, etc.
• Trauma to the eye
• Toxins in the diet and health regimen
• Viruses.

2.0 Typical Signs that Your Dog's or Cat's
       Eye May Be Infected  

• Thick mucus-like discharge from the inner corner of the eye – colour of the discharge often has a slight green tinge;
• Inflammation – redness of the eye;
• Dog or cat may try to rub his/her eye frequently with his/her paw, or against the ground, furniture etc.;
• Squinting;
• Cloudiness of the eye;
• Inability to open the eye partially or completely.

3.0 Typical Signs of Pink Eye also known  
      as Conjunctivitis

Pink eye/Conjunctivitis is a little different than other types of eye infections. Symptoms of pink eye include:

• Severe itching of the entire eye area;
• Pronounced pink coloration of the dog's eye area;
• Your dog's eye may be severely bloodshot;
• Surrounding eye tissue including the eye-lid will be inflamed;
• Dogs with pink eye will often try to use their paw to scratch and remove discharge from their eyes;
• Your dog may seek out dark places out of direct light and sun light - when he/she would normally rest in brighter areas;
• Your dog's tear ducts may have increased tear production;
• Increased discharge coming from the dog's eye, may collect around the eye area and make it difficult for your dog to blink or open his/her eye. 

4.0 Contagiousness of Eye Infections

Eye infections are very contagious.Use great care when touching/treating an infected eye. If your dog has one eye that is infected and one eye that is not infected – if you are not careful you can end-up accidentally introducing the infection to the non-infected eye.

• Make sure you wash your hands after touching/treating the infected eye;
• Don’t use the same cotton swab, cloth etc. on both eyes – use a fresh cotton swab, cloth etc. for each eye;
• Make sure the eye-dropper, ointment or medicine applicator does not touch the eye – if it does wash the tip before reusing or applying to the other eye;
• Wash your hand thoroughly after touching, treating the infected eye.

5.1 Pink-Eye also known as Conjunctivitis is Highly
     Contagious, and Zoonotic

• Is zoonotic - transferable from:
• Human to dog when the infection is bacteria-based pink eye;
• Dog to dog;
• Insect to dog;
• The bacterial form of pink eye is the most common form of conjunctivitis;
• The viral form of pink eye is an air borne virus that is particularly common in the winter when the air is damp and humid;
• The third most common cause of pink eye is triggered by environmental allergies which can cause irritation of the sinus and inflammation of the mucus membranes of the eye - in which case the cure involves addressing both the conjunctivitis and the environmental allergy

5.2 Eye Infections Worsen Very Quickly

If you think your dog or cat has an eye infection - take action ASAP as eye infections can advance very quickly. On the first day you may notice a little discharge and by the next day the infection can be fully developed! Especially if your dog’s or cat’s immune system is suppressed. The following are some very typical substances that can contribute to a suppressed immune system:

• Antibiotic;
• Inoculations;
• Steroids;
• Stress;
• Chemical-based insect and parasite preventatives, treatments;
• Species inappropriate diet and related additives;
• Chemical-based food preservatives, colorants, etc.
• Grains – especially corn and soy;
• Exposure to environmental chemicals and toxins, including;
• Chemical-based household cleaners – use pet friendly cleaners instead;
• Herbicides and pesticides – grass is good for dogs to eat, but only if it has not been treated with herbicides and pesticides!
• Road salt;
• Etc.

Step Two -  Ingested Treatment

While you are topically treating your dog or cats eye infection you should also add foods and/or supplements to the daily diet to help recovery of the eye infection...

Add Foods (to Your Dog’s and Cat’s Daily Diet) That Support Eye-Health and Speed Recovery from Infections

The following foods and supplements support eye health, speed recovery and support your dog’s immune system – use them daily and keep them in your dog’s permanent diet to support good health and help avoid future infections…

Boost Your Dog’s and Cat’s daily Vitamin A intake;

• Included some foods that are very high in Vitamin A in your dog’s and cat's  daily diet;
• Butternut Squash;
• Carrots;
• Dark leafy greens (dandelion, spinach, kale);
• Dark leafy lettuce (red leaf lettuce, radicchio, romaine, frizzy lettuce, etc.)
• Herbs:
• Parsley (dried or fresh);
• Basil (dried or fresh);
•  Papaya
  
• Turkey and chicken liver are rich in Vitamin A. If your dog or cat is on a balanced raw diet you already have this covered. If your dog or cat isn't on a balanced raw diet you can cook a little turkey or chicken liver in coconut oil or olive oil (low heat cooking only to avoid the formation of carcinogens). Add a piece of the cooked liver to your dog’s or cat’s food once a day. Liver should not exceed 5% of your dog or cat's daily intake of animal protein. If your dog or cat has never had raw or cooked liver before start with a very small amount and slowly increase to the 5% daily quota.
  
• Cantaloupe - you can give cantaloupe to your dog for a snack. Even better if it is topped with yogurt or kefir. You can read this article to understand how to choose a good yogurt and kefir for your dog or cat.

Boost your Dog’s or Cat’s Daily Vitamin C Intake

• You can add a little fresh lemon to your dog’s daily diet – see this article for preparation and dosage;
• Or add fresh papaya to your dog's, cat's daily diet.

Boost Your Dog’s and Cat’s Daily Bioflavonoid Intake

• Brussels Sprouts
• Broccoli
• Garlic
• You can read about the many benefits, how to prepare and dosage here;
• Green Tea or Rooibos Tea;
• You can read about Rooibos tea, its many benefits, daily dosage here.
• Papaya (and Mango)
• Peppers (bell) - Sweet red, yellow, orange, or purple Bell Peppers
• If your dog suffers from an inflammatory condition such as arthritis skip the peppers as the bell pepper plant is a nightshade family  plant. Nightshades can increase inflammation in the case of an existing inflammatory condition;
• Blueberries, blackberries, raspeberries, serviceberries, tart red cherries.

6.0 Duration of Treatment

• Your dog’s or cat’s eye infection should begin to subside after several days of treatment;
• If improvement does not start to occur after several days switch to the extra strength treatment.

7.0 When To Get Your Dog or Cat to Your
      Veterinarian

• If you have switched to the extra strength treatment and do not see improvement begin to occur the following day;
• If your dog is showing signs of lost appetite or sluggishness/lack of energy and with treatment his/her appetite or energy level does not return within a day or two;
• While these treatments are effective for most eye infections there will be some cases when a home remedy may not be enough to cure the infection – particularly if you have only started treating the infection once it is in an advanced stage;
• If the infection is a result of a trauma to the eye.

 

8.0 Daily Diet - the Foundation of Issues, Remedies

Make sure your dog and cat is on a daily diet that truly supports a healthy immune system. A good diet is the best defense against disease and illness. Herbs and nutraceuticals should be incorporated into the diet to support treatment, remedy and ongoing long-term daily health.

Chronic infections CANNOT be resolved using topical treatment only - the root cause of the infection MUST be addressed. Review of every aspect of the existing diet, existing health care regimen and design of a new diet, health care regimen is essential to remedy chronic infections.

Supplementary Food Stuffs 

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) - Organic Unpasturized

for dogs and cats...

Dogs and cat’s that are fed a diet of commercially made dry dog food/wet food usually have an out-of-natural-balance(acidified) blood PH level. Disease, parasites and insects are attracted to acidified blood.

• By adding Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to your dog’s and cat’s diet:
• You can help re-balance his/her blood PH level.

Beets, Carrots, Turnip
for dogs and cats...

Daily Dosage

• Carrots ½ tbs to 2 tbs a day, or;
• Beets ½ tbs to 2 tbs a day, or;
• Turnip  ½ tbs to 2 tbs a day.

B-Complex Vitamin Supplement

Fresh Foods - you can add other fresh foods that are high in Vitamin B complex – you can read about that here. This is my preferred option! 

You can can use a B complex vitamin supplement. Make sure you choose one that is free of fillers, allergens, and toxic clipping agents.

Daily Dosage:

• Cats and smaller dogs - 50 mg once a day;
• Medium to large dogs – 50mg twice daily.

Fresh Garlic

for dogs...

You may have heard or read that garlic is bad or toxic to dogs – this is only the case if garlic is consumed in unreasonable quantities. When added to the daily diet in a safe quantity garlic is very beneficial to your dog. In addition to having many other health benefits…

• Garlic contains multiple forms of sulphur – sulphur is a natural insect repellent!
• Garlic cleanses the blood which helps in fighting disease spread by some parasites;
• Garlic is an:

Honey - Raw Unpasturized, Organic

for Dogs and Cats

Raw unpasteurized organic honey (and bee pollen and/or bee propolis) is beneficial to dog's and cat's when provided in the correct dosage on a daily basis, Honey helps to protect the body from bacteria and viruses – including those caused by insects and parasites.

Daily Dosage:

• 1/2 tsp for every 20 pounds of body weight

Read here about:

• Cautions for some medical conditions and drug interactions;
• Do not give natural honey to a kitten or puppy whose age is less than 6 months, See section 10.0 of this article for more information and selection of a safe alternative.

Kelp

for Dogs and Cats

Adding Kelp to your dog’s and cat’s diet helps to protect against fleas and can mediate the irritation caused by flea-bite allergies. Kelp also reduces skin inflammation – itchiness resulting from other allergies and improves the health of skin and coat.

Kelp also supports your dog’s and cat’s health in other ways. Kelp…

• Helps to keep the GI tract clean and promotes a healthy balance of GI fluids;
• Is high in bio-available iron which helps supports blood health and heart health;
• Kelp is also high in Vitamin C, iron needs the presence of Vitamin C to increase its absorption rate by the body;
• Speeds healing as the amino acids present support repair of injured tissue;
• Helps to avoid and treat thyroid problems as kelp is rich, natural source of iodine – low iodine levels are a trigger for thyroid problems;
• The high-levels of iodine and other nutrients (i.e. manganese, folate, magnesium, tryptopan, copper, calcium, vitamin B2) also support the health of the adrenal and pituitary glands.

The best kelp is that which is most contaminant and toxin free:

• Deep sea kelp;
• Norwegian kelp.

Maximum Daily Dosage:

• Small size dogs and cats - ¼ tsp
• Medium size dogs - ½ tsp
• Large size dogs – 1 tsp

Fresh Lemon

for Dogs

 

Lemons are a very alkaline food that helps the body balance PH levels – as noted above dogs that are fed a diet of commercial dry dog food have acidified blood PH levels which attracts insects and parasites.

• Lemon is a detoxifier and can kill undesirable microorganisms in the GI tract.
• Lemon is a natural dewormer.
• Lemon can also be used topically to repel mosquitoes and other insects;
• You can make your own all-natural safe sprays and collar drops for your dog;
• Read here about:
• The many more benefits of lemon;
• Understand how to choose a good quality lemon;
• How to add lemon to your dog’s diet;
• Daily Dosage;
• Cautions for some medical conditions and drug interactions

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

for Dogs and Cats

Ensuring that your dog and cat are getting enough good quality Omega-3 fatty acids on a daily basis helps to ensure that you dog’s and cat’s skin and fur are healthy and that their immune system is properly supported. 

A proper daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids also offers a vast number of other essential health benefits that you can read about here. Remember that insects and parasites are attracted to animals that have weakened immune systems. Animals with strong immune systems have their own natural defence against infestations of parasites and associated diseases. 

I am not aware of any commercially made dog or cat food (and I have looked at many from all over the world) that provides the proper balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids for a dog’s or cat’s daily diet. Make sure you add good-source Omega-3 fatty acids to your dog’s and cat’s diet on a daily basis. You can read about that here.

Fresh Papaya

for Dogs and Cats

Benefits

• The enzymes in papaya:
• Help to irritate and destroy worms in the animals GI Tract;
• The enzyme papain aids in the digestion of proteins and also helps alleviate allergies;
• Papaya promotes the health of the cardiovascular system;
• Papaya helps provide protection against colon cancer;
• Papaya has anti-inflammatory qualities (important if your dog suffers from conditions such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, etc.);
• Helps to prevent macular degeneration;
• Papaya is:
• A rich source of antioxidants including:
• B vitamins;
• Carotenes;
• Flavonoids;
• Folate;
• Vitamin A, C and E;
• Minerals:

• Potassium, and are:
• And excellent source of fibre. 

To Prepare the Papaya...

• Remove the skin of the papaya;
• Remove the seeds;
• Finely chop or mince by hand or using a food processor or blender;
• Or use in powder form (in which case dosage would be as per manufacturers’ instructions).

How To Add Papaya to Your Dog’s or Cat’s Diet

• Mix the papaya in with your companion animal’s regular food.

Minimum Dosage

• Small Size Dogs and Cats - ½  tsp to 1 tsp
• Medium Size dogs – 1 tsp to ½ tbs
• Large Size Dogs – ½ tbs to 1 tbs

Ensuring that your dog’s and cat’s gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) is healthy also supports your dog’s immune system. The beneficial microorganisms in viable probiotics do a series of things that help your dog and cat naturally fight-off parasites and associated diseases…

Probiotics:

• Produce antibacterial agents and enzymes that kill a wide range of pathogenic bacteria and viruses;
• Help to deactivate toxins that are produced by pathogenic bacteria;
• Produce:
• Beneficial enzymes;
• A range of essential B-Vitamins;
• Perform digestion of:
• Old organic compounds (muco-proteins);
• Parasites.
