I would recommend stopping the drops if Eli's eyes became red after using them. It is possible the eye drops are actually causing irritation to the eyes. I would stop the drops and if you feel like eyes have discharge or the redness does not go away I would recommend taking her to a vet for a close exam! hope that helps
