Eye infection :(

[Gunnar]

Hey everybody!

My little boy had a wonderful play-date weekend with a friend, but when he came home, he had an eye infection

I've been using a saline solution and have tried adding a little apple cider vinegar to the mix, and it got a little better...but then it spread to his other eye!

Has anyone had any luck with this kind of thing? What's a good path to take?

not sure I'd want vinegar in my eye :/
If it's not too bad, you could try polysporin eye drops (NOT regular polysporin!), or get it looked at by a vet. Eyes are important, and the infection may need antibiotic drops.

That's what I thought, but I heard someone say that a couple diluted drops worked for them :/

I'll try the polysporin drops! I didn't think of that, thank you! Its not too bad, so hopefully it works

Update!

The vet said that he just has allergies, and it might not be an infection at all. His eyes have returned to normal, after about a week of supplementing his food with Russian kefir. He loves it, and his allergy symptoms have all but disappeared
