My 7-year-old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix had a proptosed globe in her left eye. The vet prescribed Ak Poly Bac ointment to be applied to the eye. What is the best way to get the ointment in her eye? Her eye is sutured closed except for a small opening towards her nose. I've tried warming the ointment to make it less thick, but I'm still having difficulty getting it in her eye.

My 14-year-old dog was recently staggery, vomited twice, and urinated in the house, which is unusual for him. I took him to the vet who performed a CBC, UA, and started him on Baytril (135 mg). His appetite has been poor, refusing dog food but eating roast beef and gravy, and he's been extra sleepy. He hasn't had a bowel movement for two days, which is also unusual. He's drinking water and urinating fine. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
