Eye drops you could use are Optive and Halo tears .You can get Halo tears night as well .Very common in dogs on very hot sunny days.If its healing quickly might mean no underlying causes .Also as she gets older reduce protein .Try to give more vegetables and omega 3 like salmon oil or cod liver oil .Love your hair Wendy.
