Expert Answer

Mild keratitis usually heals in 1 to 2 weeks; severe cases may need 2 to 3 months. During treatment fit a collar to protect the eye from strong light.

Clean the eye daily with warm water and apply special eye drops. If no relief or worsening after 3 to 5 days, take the dog for an eye exam to get correct treatment.
