I took Pooka to the vet today about her eye gunk and was told that she MUST have topical treatment and not systemic treatment for it (ie. eye ointment rather than antibiotic tablets). She demonstrated the headlock manoeuvure and it all worked fine while Pooka was on the table in the surgery and the vet put the first dose in.
It didn't work quite so smoothly at home. Then I worked out that if I clamped her body against the balcony railing using my arms to clamp her to the side, she gave up resisting and let Mum put the ointment in (because she's my dog I get to be in charge of restraint!)
The vet stuff is pretty cool. They put some special fluoro drops in her eyes then shone a blue light in to see if her corneas were damaged. THEN when we went home all her eye gunk was fluoro green! She looked pretty funny.
