Do be careful not to catch anything yourself. Dogs and cats can get pinkeye and it is very catchable, so wash your hands well after treating the eye.

Sheila...Here are some other home remedy suggestions:
http://trupanion.com/blog/2013/02/curin ... -remedies/
I see they suggest camomile tea, but I would try a black tea compress. I have used this on rashes, bug bites, etc., with amazing results. I had a doctor who was into natural remedies and suggested it to me, for the tannins. I recommended hot black tea compresses to a former coworker, for a cyst she had on her lower eyelid. She had it for a long time and it got irritated. After using the compresses off and on, all day, it burst that evening and was completely gone, the next day! She was so happy
It would be nice to avoid the vet bill, if something so simple works.
