The leaflet answers most of the questions that arrive at nine in the evening on its own, but it is written not to alarm and ends up never read. Here is how to read it well.

The eye is delicate and the animal defends it. Here is a repeatable technique to apply drops without touching the cornea or turning treatment into a fight.
A specialist consultation is short and costs attention: arriving with a written timeline, reports in date order and five repeated measurements changes the outcome.

Six facts per episode, a one minute routine and five measurements you can take at home: the minimum that turns a story into clinical data.
