Hi is there any eye drops for humans that you can use for dogs for sore eyes.That does the same as Clinagel for dogs.

Sore eyes can have serious underlying cause and if its a Cavalier may be the start of Dry Eye ( Keratoconjunctivitis sicca) This is characterized by a deficiency of aqueous tear film over the surface of the eye and in the lining of the lids.
Prolonged dry eye causes an abraded surface of the cornea and permanent damage to the tear gland.

And in GSDs it could be Pannus. Have you had a diagnosis? If there is simply a slight inflammation the vet may prescribe Maxitrol, which is very inexpensive.

In my opinion, and with some experience, ALL eye problems require a vet visit.  Causes of sore, runny, dry, or itchy eyes can be varied and multiple.  Do get your dog checked before taking any action.  Several types of eye problem require very specific treatment and choosing the wrong drops can make the condition worse and in some cases cause irreparable harm.

If cost is a concern, or the condition ongoing or recurring, then your vet will tell you what your best home remedy options and vitally what ingredients to avoid.  They have access to very good information about the active ingredients in most 'brand name' drugs to ensure you don't make a mistake.  Clinagel is a prescription only medication and shouldn't be used for long term use.  If your dog is still showing symptoms despite finishing a course of medication then it's safer (and in the long run probably less expensive) to take him back to your vet.  Hope all is ok

Too right!

Some years ago my Border Collie had a watery, squinty eye.  I had plenty of antibiotic eye ointment here but wanted a professional diagnosis.  It was the right decision as once the coloured liquid was in the eye the vet saw immediately that there was a substantial hole gouged out.  I've had plenty of one eyed dogs over the years, but wouldn't wish it on a dog.  The vet saved my dogs eye by prompt medication and was definitely worth the cost of the treatment.

I am taking her to the vet today it is getting better a bit, still looks a bit red she can now open her eye a bit.

Took her to vets she has an ulcer in eye said it was starting to heal up, he gave us a tub of clinagel -vet three times a day taking her back on Monday.

phew pleased you have found the cause

That's very lucky. Please be aware for the future that an ulcer left untreated for days COULD easily have got a lot worse and ended in the eye rupturing and having to be removed. Also certain medications are a big no no if there is any ulcerations to the eye as again they can cause ruptures, so this is all why eye problems must be seen by a vet ASAP.

Glad you have a diagnosis and treatment. My sisters dog who I inherited, had had eye problems for years, and her stupid vet said it was hay fever. When I inherited her I took her to my vet and he diagnosed a deep ulcer. It had been left too long for the drops to resolve it (which we tried) and ultimately she went in to have it debrided. Her eye was completely white for a while, and I wondered had I done the right thing. But gradually it healed and was clear and bright. It was so lovely to see her with no discomfort any more in that eye...it must have been horrible for her for such a long time.  I have never forgiven that stupid vet for making her life a misery. Lost her at 13 a few years back, having had her for 4 years...at least those years were finally free of that discomfort bless her....sweet girl.

Like Chinablue I inherited my sisters dog. She came to us with amongst other issues an ulcerated eye. It was left so long by the time we got her that she lost all tear production. = 3 different types if cream to keep her eyes intact. 47.00 pounds the optimune was at the time. Just goes to show early intervention saves pain suffering and expense in the long run!
