My dog has red eye irritation. Is Optixcare working or do I need a vet?

Question

I dont agree with the answer I just got. The pic I gave clearly shows red irritation on the outer eye an I have started using Optixcare on her. Does this stuff take time or should I try something else? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 28 days old | 7 lbs

Optixcare is an eye lube, it won't treat an infection if an infection is present, which is likely the case. you didn't attach a photo to this question so it's hard for me to tell you what it could be, with eyes when in doubt i always recommend a physical vet visit as it must be examined in person. if an infection is present she will need an antibiotic eye drops, this is prescription only anyway so you will need to see a vet for that.
