[nagdu] Administering topical medication

[Cindy Ray]

You would have to be careful not to touch the eye with the applicator, and
you have to be quick enough once the eye is opened to get it in before the
dog closes it.

Hi Sherri, wow, that's hard when you have to apply it to specific places.  I
think sometimes there are some things that we have to ask for sighted
assistance to do.  And that is probably one of them.

When I brought my first dog home, she had to have some eye drops, too.
There was no way I was going to be able to do it.  
Fortunately there was a guy in my building at work who had been in a canine
unit in Vietnam.  He was kind of a hippie guy, very nice, and he would put
his eye drops in for me.  And then my housemate helped me at night.  Maybe
now ow could do it, but not 
if I had to aim at 2 specific spots.    Peace,    Debby with 
Neena
