Can you give your Siberian husky tobradex 0.3-0.1 for an watery eye?
No - Tobradex has two medications in it, dexamethasone (a steroid) and tobramycin (an antibiotic). This is powerful medication that can cause serious side effects, possibly causing your Husky to become blind in that eye depending upon what is causing the watery eye. You should carefully evaluate the eye - if your Husky is keeping it closed or you see a blue tinge to the surface of the eye or red streaks on the white part of the eye, you need to take your Husky to a veterinarian immediately for evaluation and targeted treatment. If you don't see any of these problems but the watery discharge changes in color, thickness or volume or doesn't resolve in about 3 days, you need to take your Husky to a veterinarian anyway.
Is tobradex for dogs?
Tobradex, a combination of Tobramycin (an antibiotic that works especially well on eye infections) and Dexamethazone (a synthetic glucocorticoid or steriod) are made by Alcon Labs and are in this specific combination, are specifically targetted at eye infections in humans. Most pharmacuetical concerns market drugs that are intended originally for humans, but may turn out to work effectively for dogs and other animals, and dogs are often part of the testing protocol. However, very few studies are conducted with a focus animal application, and Alcon has no record of any clinical trials invovling dogs at all. That said, dexamethazone has been used for years with canines. Tobramycin, however, has apparently not. It's a very effective antibiotic that works against Gram-negative bacterial infections and is generally more effective (perentally) than gentamycin. The problems for humans are that it's a very potent antibiotic, and has some serous sideeffects, including kidney damamge and deafness (nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity). IV dosage is calculated by weight, although topical administration is far less likely to result in overdose. That said -- the answer? Tobradex, like almost every medication in the veternarian's lexicon, is targetted at humans and, although it may work for pets, is not primarily for pets -- very few medications are. To know if this medication can work for your animal, You'll need to either call your vet on this one, or wait until someone calls me back and let's me know -- and I'll update this page. My non-veternary, non-medical guess is, if you can be sure the infection is bacterial, I can't find a reason it wouldn't work. But I emphasize that this is not commonly done, and I have not yet been able to obtain verification from either the manufacturer, their lab, and AVMA or anyone else. Be careful. I'l do some more research now and get back to here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, My dog was prescribed Tobradex three years ago after being diagnosed with uveitis (leading cause of blindness in golden retrievers). These eye drops have done a very good job at keeping the uveitis at bay. She is doing quite well and has only recently started showing some minor side effects in which our vet says there is no concern. If it weren't for the Tobradex she would be blind by now. As I write this she is outside playing with my children, I am happy this drug worked for her. I hope that helps.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the best medicine for a eye stye that is over the counter?
AnswerSorry, there's nothing, unless you can luck out and find a product called "Stye." It's an ophthalmic ointment that works. In addition, warm, moist compresses for 10 minutes at a time, throughout the day, can help a stye to drain. The best Rx [prescription] remedy is TOBRADEX eye drops, also prescribed for pink eye. These drops are quick-acting.I strongly disagree.The "Stye" product is a fraud. There is no Medical basis for how it would help a stye.Warm compresses are the correct treatment.Only if there is an open wound with active discharge are a topical antibiotics helpful. If the whole lid is swollen, this is a more serious infection that requires oral antibiotics.-G. Vicente, MD
