Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to say it's safe to give any drug without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. I would not use these drugs on Storm's eye unless prescribed by a vet. I would have her seen by a vet ASAP for her hyphema, as any eye problem is considered an emergency.
