오늘은 발런티어 갔다가 눈이 아픈 강아지 안약 넣는 방법을 보았다.
우리 탄이도 안구에 문제가 있어 안약을 넣었어야 했기에 강아지에게 안약 넣는 어려움을 안다. 그냥 일반 알약을 먹이는것은 어렵지 않았지만, 2-3가지 안약과 안연고를 간격을 두고 넣기는 너무 어려웠었다. 3년전 탄이 눈으로 가는 눈물샘에 이상이 생겨 눈이 건조해지고 균이 생기면 눈을 적출해야하는 상황이라 2시간 간격으로 안약을 넣어 줘야해서 밤에도 순번을 정해놓고 일어 나서 안약을 넣었고 외출해도 2시간내로 집으로 와서 엄마는 안약을 넣으셨고, 눈이 회복되기전 어디든 탄이를 데려 가야 했었다. 긴 투병생활을 마치고 탄이는 완쾌 했었다.
Today, during the volunteer work, I saw a way to put a sore puppy an eye drop. My dog also had a problem with eyeballs and we had to put an eye drop so I know how hard it is to put an eye drop to a sore puppy. It was not difficult to dose pills to my dog, but it was hard to put 2-3 eyedrops and ointments. Three years ago, due to the accident, my dog's eyes became very dry and the doctor said to our family that we have to keep his eyes moisture or else his eyes will be contaminated by germs. So I had to put him several eyedrops every two hours including at night. Hence, I had to set up an alarm for every two hours to put eye drops. Also, my mom, she had to come home every two hours to put eyedrops. Until my dog was recovered, we had to bring him everywhere we go so that we can put his eyedrops. After a long bout, my dog finally cured.

3 Simple Steps to Administer Eye Drops to Your Dog
When it comes to taking care of your dog, there are a few things that you need to be able to do in case of illness or injury. One of the more basic tasks is being able to administer eye drops when your veterinarian prescribes them.
Step1: Preparation
Read the instructions on your medication. It's very important to follow all the instructions given to you by your dog's veterinarian or by the eye-drop manufacturer. Read the bottle itself as well as any literature included with the package for optimum results.
If discharge is present, the area should be cleansed with a sterile eyewash solution prior to applying the medication. Remove the cap from the bottle of medication and place it on a clean surface.
Step 2: Restrain your dog
Ensure your hands are clean and then secure your dog. If possible, enlist the help of a friend or family member to hold your dog still; this will give you two free hands to get the drops into your dog's eyes. If you must do it yourself, bring the dog in close to your body and hold him between your knees with his back facing towards you or place your dog's hindquarters against something so he cannot back away from you.
Another method to restrain the dog is to place him on a table. Stand on the side of the table opposite to the eye you are medicating. Drape your right arm over the dog's shoulders (this method assumes you are right handed – reverse these instructions if you are left-handed). Your left hand will be used to handle his head. Use your right hand to hold the medication container. If the dog tries to stand, lean your upper body over his shoulders to prevent him from getting up. Remember that proper restraint will not hurt your dog and will minimise the chances of him becoming distressed by the procedure, as restraint will enable you to perform it quickly and efficiently.
Step 3: Administer the eye medication
Place one hand (your left hand, if you’re right-handed) under and around your dog's chin and lift upward, so his eyes are looking towards the ceiling. With the fingers or thumb of the same hand (depending on which eye you need to place the drops into) gently pull the eyelid of the affected eye downwards. This will form a little eyelid pouch that you will then administer the drops into. Rest your other hand, holding the medication, on top of your dog's head. Be sure the tip of the bottle is pointed away from your dog's eye until you’re ready to administer the drops, so that if your dog jerks, the tube tip will not injure the eye.
Squeeze the prescribed number of eye drops into the eyelid pouch that you created, being careful not to touch the tip of the bottle to your dog's eye. Let go of your dog, and allow him to blink and move around as the act of blinking will move the eye drops across the surface of the eye evenly, and help the drops to be effective.
안약 : 반려 동물이 움직이지 않도록 잘잡고 고개를 살짝 올린후, 윗 논꺼풀을 살짝 들어 올린 다음 눈에서 1-2cm 정도 띄워 한방울 정도 떨어 뜨린다.
5분정도 걸쳐 서서히 흡수 되므로 몇가지 안약을 넣을 경우 최소 5분이상 간격을 둔다,
안연고 : 안약보다 넣기 어려움
윗눈꺼풀을 살짝 벌린후, 연고를 0.5cm정도 짜서 결막쪽에 바르고 눈을 서너 번 깜박이게 합니다. 안연고는 최소 30분 간격을 두고, 안약을 넣고 마지막에 안연고를 넣는다.
안약사용법
한방울이면 충분하다, 한방울 이상은 오히려 흘러내려 치료에 필요한 최소량도 눈에 남지 않을수 있다
안약입구가 오염되지 않도록 한다
전에 처방 받은 안약을 보관했다 함부로 다시 사용하지 않는다.
