    Get advice from a vet before doing anything like this. You could end up doing more harm than good.

    It's not good for humans, think what it could do to a tadpole

    Hi,

    You definitely shouldn't do this without veterinary guidance - you need to consult a vet before using any treatment here.

    Having said that, may be worth checking your water quality very carefully - cloudy eye, especially in multiple animals, can often be associated with irritation from something in the water.

    Hope this helps,

    Bruce.
