I flush with water. Helps if you have someone pour the water while you hold your dog's eye open. The water seems to flush them out pretty well.

 

Remember they have three eyelids and the (duck weed) seeds sometimes got under the third. Require vet services. I had one super water dog who swam underwater with open eyes. 3 vet visits.

 

 

The old dog trainer's way is to blow them out, spread the lids, get close and give a good blast like you were blowing a whistle

 

This is what I do.

You can buy a 4 oz bottle of eye wash at the drug store. I keep one in my kit, just for that.

 

I get this stuff at WalMart or WalGreens - what have you. Just basic saline solution. This style bottle is great for rinsing a dog's eyes.

I wear contacts anyhow, so I like to have a bottle with me regardless.

 

Get mouth full of water, hold dog's eye open, spit water into eye. Takes me six hands to use a bottle.

 

I keep Bausch & Lomb eye wash type stuff on hand; this is an eye rinse, I'm not sure if it is different than the contact solution mentioned above. I drip solution into dog's eyes and let dog blink the floating seeds out her eyes. I do not want to rub dog's eyes for fear of embedding seed into lids, so I try to rinse/float them out if I see them.

 

Like Chris said I buy saline I pull the lower eyelid down and flush them out. I like that I can squeeze the bottle and get a good flush. They get used to it after a couple times.

 

You guys do not hunt in duckweed. Flipping an eyelid is not that easy when it gets under the inner most lid!

 

I use a sterile wound wash. The pressure helps to get the seeds out easily even when dogs are squinting which they usually are when you start messing with their eyes. I spray it in a corner along the eye not directly at the eye.

We keep a bottle of Bausch & Lomb eye wash/sterile rinse on hand in first aid kit bag - you can find it most local stores
