I don’t know if we’d have better luck with a twitch... I don’t own one and have only ever been mildly successful using them. I don’t think I’m strong enough with it.

The stuff we have to get in his eyes is a tube of stuff that is a gel, about the consistency of Neosporin. It’s hard to get from the tube into the eye without thinking I’m going to poke him. I’ve been putting it on my finger instead.

You know... Bay does raise his head, but the issue with him is that I have a real hard time pulling his eyelids out. They’re very tight, and he resists that part. The pony’s were easy to pull out, she’s got really buggy eyes.

Gel makes it so much harder. I don’t have any good suggestions for that except what you are doing.

Do you use the side of your finger. I make a line of ointment down my index finger and I lay it on the lower lid. When they blink you can tell if it got in because the eye is “oily” at first. Okie and Sarah Lee both throw their heads up when they see the tube. They are ok with my hand. I think maybe they think its the wormer coming:’)
