Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear about your kitty. I'm assuming the vet who prescribed these did a corneal eye stain to make sure the surface of the eyes were not damaged. You can place the drops in the eyes as directed and then wait about 15 minutes and follow with the ointment. Great question.

Gentamycin is a common ingredient in ear medications. There is a small risk of damaging the hearing, especially if the ear drum is not intact. When I diagnose an ear infection in a pet, I recommend a two-part treatment. The first is with a cleaner to remove any debris; I like DECHRA DermaPet Malacetic Otic. This is important as ear medications need to contact the skin of the ear and if there is ear wax or other debris in the way, then the medications can't work. After the ears are dry, you can apply the medication. Ears typically need to be treated twice a day for 7-10 days. Cats can commonly get ear mites that may look like an ear infection. If you have not treated Melcho for ear mites, I recommend doing so now. If the ear infection does not resolve after using an ear cleaner and the Dexoryl within a week, then Melcho should see the vet as he could have a resistant bacteria growing, yeast infection, parasites, or even a polyp causing problems deep in his ear. I cannot find a list of

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Keke! Unfortunately eye medications are prescription. All medications that go in to the eye need to be formulated to be safe for the eye. You can't put an ointment made for the skin into the eye. Also cats are very sensitive to all medications and can react to some components in eye ointments as well. With out examining Keke I can't tell you which is a safe medication and which is not. When it comes to eyes the pet should be seen. It is the safest decision and the best for her. You can try calling your Vet and see of they are comfortable prescribing the same medication again. I wish Keke a speedy recovery!

If she responded initially to d/d then this confirmed a significant food sensitivity. A hydrolyzed diet such as royal canin hypoallergenic or anallergenic would be recommended, antiinflammatory medications should also be prescribed to provide short term relief

It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of your veterinarian. A physical exam is strongly recommended to confirm infection so the appropriate antibiotic can be used. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying conditions. If you choose to use this medication, chloramphenicol can cause serious blood abnormalities, thus should be handled with caution.
