My dog has dry eyes. My vet prescribed hialid eyedrops. I see improvement in his eyes. Is there any oral supplements which could aid his dry eyes?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Sky. Unfortunately, there are no oral supplements for dry eye. The only treatment is the topical application of eye drops to lubricate the surface of the eyes. If the eyes are not responding, then drops to decrease the body's immune response may be required. Do not allow him to paw at his eyes as he could cause damage. I hope this information helps!
