Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that Scooby was hurt. It sounds like things are on the mend, which is good. Continue the eye drops as directed as eyes take a while to heal. Depending on the injury, it can take anywhere from a few days to weeks for things to heal completely. As long as he is comfortable, I would say continuing your current regimen is the way to go. If you notice squinting, rubbing at the eye, or the inflammation getting worse, I would have it rechecked as soon as possible. Hope this helps!
