You can use Terramycin Antibiotic Ophthalmic Ointment. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic eye ointment that you can get at some pet stores and on the internet to treat eye infections in cats, dogs and horses. Put a small amount in each eye two to four times a day as needed. It is available without prescription.

Filipendula ulmaria (Meadowsweet), Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), Arctium lappa (Burdock). Uveitis is treated with glucocorticoid steroid eye drops, such as betamethasone, dexamethasone, or prednisolone.

You can try a basic cleaning method, just a wash and rinse. Wet a soft clean cloth or a rag, useing lukewarm water. Squeeze out rag and wipe infected areas around the eyes several times a day, or as often as needed. You may also try an over the counter eye scrub, available at pet stores.

The best home remedy is to wash the dog's eyes frequently with water (use sterilize saline water) but if eye is swollen and are aching then this technique won't help. For such kind of problems seek veterinary doctor help and immediately take the dog to him. It doest give any benefit but just reduce the time period.
