Glycerin
別名: Osmoglyn
> **Important**: This medication is typically given in the clinic during an eye emergency (like acute glaucoma) to rapidly save your pet's vision. * **Withholding Water**: You may be instructed to withhold water from your pet for 3-4 hours after they receive this medication. *Why?* Drinking water will counteract the drug's ability to pull excess fluid out of the eye. * **Nausea/Vomiting**: Glycerin is a very sweet, thick syrup that can upset the stomach. Mixing it with a small amount of milk or ice cream can help prevent vomiting. * **Monitoring**: Watch for signs of dehydration or excessive urination once you take your pet home.
