For ease of administration, it is sometimes helpful if one person holds the animal and another person applies the drops. The animal should be held firmly in the sitting position. Small dogs, cats or rabbits should be placed on a table or similar surface.

Fucithalmic Vet is used once or twice a day, according to your vet's recommendation.

1. Remove the discharge and debris from the corners and around the eye with a piece of cotton wool moistened with warm water or a ready-made eye lotion.

2. Remove screw cap.

3. Place one hand under the animal's chin and raise its head up slightly. Hold the head firmly. In the case of a dog, it may be necessary to apply a muzzle to prevent the dog injuring you, or in the case of a cat or rabbit, wrap in a towel if the animal is difficult to restrain. (Ask your vet for advice regarding this).

4. Treat the uninfected eye first if advised to do so by your veterinary surgeon.

5. Whilst holding the tube between the index finger and thumb of your other hand, place the side of this hand on the animal's head above the eye and use it to pull the upper eyelid upwards to expose the white of the eye. Squeeze one drop of Fucithalmic Vet and allow it to fall onto the eyeball or underneath the upper eyelid making sure that the nozzle does not touch the eye or its surroundings. Then release the eyelid.

6. In some rabbits, it may be easier to pull the lower eyelid down to apply the drop.

7. Repeat this procedure with the infected eye.

8. Replace the screw cap between applications; do not touch the nozzle with your fingers.

9. If twice daily dosing is recommended, repeat this procedure the following morning or evening. If there is no improvement after 5 days following the start of the course of treatment, please contact your vet.

11. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the contents during use, and to avoid the nozzle of the tube coming into direct contact with the eye.

What should I remember when using the drops? When the tube is squeezed, Fucithalmic Vet comes out as a thick (viscous) drop. The drop quickly becomes liquid on contact with tear fluid and does not affect the sight.

If you forget to use the drops at the right time, use them as soon as you remember. Then go on as before.

Complete the normal course as prescribed by your veterinary surgeon, which is usually for one day after the eye has returned to normal.

When the container is opened (broached) for the first time, the date on which any product remaining in the container is to be discarded should be calculated. This discard date should be written in the space provided on the carton.
