We have antibiotic eye ointment/steroid cream from when he got his dermoid removed, and the exp. date has not passed.
If you decide to use the ointment make sure it does not have any steriods in it. NEVER use an eye ointment with steriods unless directed to by a vet. It will say somewhere on the packaging if it's got steriods in it.
