Are Ceflox-D eye drops safe for my Persian cat's sensitive eyes?

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.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Roxy. I do understand being concerned, but in some cases, it can be safe to use certain human drops. It's off label use. If your vet recommended it, it should be ok. I hope this helps!

Hello. No, this is not meant to be used in the eyes of your cat unless your veterinarian has specifically told you to do so. Do not put anything in your cat's eye unless it was prescribed by your veterinarian. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Naz. Medications have to list potential side effects, but it doesn't always happen. Yes it is typically a safe medication. I hope this helps!

No, I don't recommend to use this product. There are other antibiotics that are more appropriate for eye infections but you will need to call your veterinarian for recommendations. Pharmacy law prohibits online veterinarians from discussing the usage of medications not prescribed for that individual pet. There is a supplement called Lysine which may also help. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I would not listen to online sites saying to buy eye drops from the drug store. A lot of these sites are written by people who have no veterinary education at all, and some of their advice is frankly dangerous and potentially fatal. It is never advised to buy OTC eye drops for a cat because a cat's eye reacts differently to human eye medications than a human's eye does. In addition, some of these drops contain ingredients that are unsafe for use in cats. It sounds like Cleo may have an eye infection, and she will need to see a vet to get a topical antibiotic ointment to treat the infection. I would take her into the vet first thing Monday. Until then, it's fine to use a warm wash cloth to wipe away any gunk that comes from her eye. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I wouldn't use human eye medications as cats are very sensitive to medications. If you can find the product in the link below that is a better option twice daily for 7 days. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=9675
