Rest your other hand, holding the bottle, on top of the pet's head.
Be sure the tip of the bottle is pointed away from your pet's eye so if your pet jerks, the tip will not injure the eye.
Hold the bottle about one inch from the eye.
Squeeze the drops into the corner of the eye, taking care not to touch the dropper to the eye surface.
Continue to hold the head back for a moment while the drops disperse over the whole eye surface.
Never touch the tip dropper to the pet's eye, lids, or eyelashes.
Do not touch the inside of the cap or the dropper or tube tip with your fingers, as this will also contaminate the medication.
