PORSCHE's EXPERIENCE:
Dogs will be dogs... and well... in this particular situation... my two dogs, on a grumpy day... got into a 'sibling' scrap over food.
Being that my two dogs are very different in size... One is a 17-year-old frail Puggle (about 20 pounds) and the other is 3-year-old Mastiff Male (very large and muscular - over 90lbs)... you can imagine the "squabble" was a little dramatic.
Either way... my little old lady, Porsche, is a feisty one... and she holds her own, as well as has many times in the past with other dogs.
Still that being said... she definitely got the short end of the stick. Bleeding from her eye after the scrap...I took her to the vet where she had two stitches put on her eye area.
The amount of pus and crusty stuff coming out of her eye after the first night and day was terrible... and her being very stubborn and old, made me very worried about being able to clean it properly.
I then decided to try one of the patches. I put one on the back of her head before we went to bed the second night... and so wonderfully... when I woke up the next morning her eye was pus free, crust free and even looked like it had healed dramatically. I then put the patches on her every night before bed (I even re-used the ones I had used during the day on myself)... and since then she has been pus free and has healed really well.
You can see by the pictures below.
I wish I had a good picture of how disgusting it was the one night ... but that evening it was so dark in Edmonton (Canada) already... that I could not get a great photo.
Either way... both dogs are best buds again and all is well in our household.
I am just super grateful for whatever worked about these patches ... because it would have been so painful for me to try and clean her eye after everything.

This picture indicates some of the pus and "mess". Her eye was much much worse by the evening: Full of pus and tonnes of crusties.
Her eye after wearing the patches. You can see the stitches area cleanly and this is not from me touching this area or cleaning it away.
Her eye before going to get the stitches removed. All healed up and looking great.
After stitches removed. Barely even a scar, and looking well!
