No, I would not use that on her eye. Her eye needs to be checked out by a vet so that you can be certain the correct medication is being used. Using the wrong medication can cause real damage to the eye. Please take her into a vet today. Best of luck.

    You need to have Simba seen by a vet to have this treated. His eye needs to be examined by a vet to make sure he doesn't have a corneal ulcer before any eye treatment is applied. I'd take him into a vet today.
