Great value & service!
From undisclosedComments about Erythromycin Eye Ointment, 0.5%Thank you for making this product available!! my cat has ulcers on his corneas. The pet ophthalmologist charges more than 2x for this product and my kitty needs 3 times a day. The tubes are small so we go through it quickly. He's slowly but surely doing better. Thank you for the prompt service and mail delivery!!! -
I'll check VetRxDirect first from now on.

Should this be applied to the lower lid (similar to eyeliner) or actually in the eye? I understand the importance of gently massaging the closed lid to better disperse the medication. Just a little unsure about the initial application.?

This eye ointment is applied directly to the eye as prescribed by your veterinarian. The tip of the applicator should not touch the eye, or any other surface to avoid contamination of the medication.

Always ensure the medication used is not expired. Please consult your veterinarian to ensure proper treatment of your pet.
