    I don't know if their's anything over the counter for eye's. But mineroil 1 rop every hr or so,untill you can get the puppy to the Vet,wear you can get an ointment that will last longer than drops.

    I hope I answered your question

    Oh Boy...that's a shame. I'm afraid he might have lost the eye. your Vet will beable to let you know if he/she can just sew the eyelid closed or it would be better to remove the eye from the socket.

    Keep me updated Okay.

    Take care, Barry
