First, your veterinarian can prescribe topical antibiotics in the form of eye drops, eye washes, and eye ointments. Placing a warm compress on the stye multiple times a day for 5 to 15 minutes will prompt the stye to burst. At this stage, you should clean out the discharge from the stye with saline solution.
Learn what a dog stye is, its causes as well as treatment. These include home remedies, over the counter medication and medical removal for styes in dogs.
While dogs are prone to getting styes on their eyelids, there are several other conditions that may cause similar symptoms, but require different treatments.
Don't rub or squeeze the stye, as this can cause the infection to spread. Treatment options include hot compresses, antibiotic ointments, oral antibiotics or operating on the lump (lancing) to drain out the pus.
