Alternative Medicine for Pets/Bacterial conjunctivitis

Question
Hi!  My 1½ year old dog seems to be suffering from bacterial conjunctivitis.  This started about 2-3 weeks ago.  He has greenish discharge on his eyes.  We usually just clean it twice a day by damping a moist cotton ball to remove the purulent discharge.  What cure can we give?

Answer
HI Mark
You can also wipe his eyes with Colloidal Silver.  This product is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti- viral.  It does not need to be diluted.  Just put some in a dish and soak a cotton ball in it, then gently wipe over eyes.  It is safe to use.  
Otherwise you can also get in touch with Robert McDowell animal herbals -
www.herbal-treatments.com.au and they may be able to make up a specific blend for your dog.
Colloidal Silver is available in most health food stores.
I hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Silva.
