This is very helpful, especially if you only have one pair of hands and don't have the extra person there to assist. Thank you...great visuals and practical help.

This is great. I have a cat who has an eye condition that gets worse with all the pollen in the air this time of year, and she does NOT appreciate getting her eye ointment put in! Next time I'll follow these tips and hopefully it'll go easier for both of us.

This was very clear and precise information, thanks! I just got a 8 week old kitten and my vet gave me some Fulcithamic because she has mild conjunctivitis. I'm so glad I watched this video cos I probably would have done it completely wrong!

Pumpkin is gorgeous by the way :-)

This is very helpful. I am giving my cat drops to reduce the inflammation/ pressure in his eyes. It is easy for me to get the drops in his right eye, but I have a problem getting them into the left eye, as he has a luxated lens and it is hard for him to open his eye enough for me to get the drops in. I can't get them in dead center, they basically fall to the bottom of the eye and are blinked away.

Do you have any advice?

Thank you. I have a new kitten that I'm supposed to give eye ointment to and this video really helped.
