Here's why:
* Incorrect dosage: Even if erythromycin is used to treat eye infections in dogs, the appropriate dosage and application method must be determined by a veterinarian.
* Potential side effects: Erythromycin can have side effects in dogs, including gastrointestinal upset, allergic reactions, and liver problems.
* Underlying causes: Cataracts are a symptom of an underlying condition, and treating only the symptom without addressing the root cause could be harmful.
If your dog has a cataract, please consult a veterinarian immediately. They can properly diagnose the cause of the cataract, determine the best course of treatment, and ensure your dog's safety.
