  Little Doll is being treated for conjuctivitis of one of her eyes with liquid and eye drops antibiotic. The skin near and under her eye is red and irritated from the constant drainage. Is there anything I can apply to the irritated skin to soothe it and prevent ulcers? For example something like triple antibiotic ointment.

  I would be very careful what you apply near the eye – I would call the vet if it were me and get their recommendations.

  I agree with Sarita…definitely consult the vet. Antibiotic ointment does not sound like the right thing to apply to soothe irritated skin, and the vet might have better suggestions.
