Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I only recommend erythromycin or terramycin be used in a cats eye. I recommend, if Riley is having an issue with her eyes, that you see a Veterinarian before putting anything in them. You don't want to do more harm than good. Cats are very sensitive and can react to many eye medications and can react to them all! I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

Any ophthalmic medication will be more expensive than other meds. Ask your veterinarian to write a prescription for your kitten's needs. You can then take this and shop for more affordable pricing either online or at other pharmacies.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! If an infection is present in the eye (discharge, squinting of the eye, rubbing or pawing at eye, redness, swelling), Andy will need antibiotic eye drops from his veterinarian. You can try sterile saline eye drops for cats which are available at your local pet store, which can help soothe the eye but this will likely not help with an infection. Often times recurrent eye infections in cats is caused by the feline herpes virus. Giving lysine powder on top of their food or paste once or twice daily (I like the product called Viralys) can help decrease viral replication which can help lessen the recurrent eye infections. I hope this helps!

Terramycin or Tobramycin probably would be the best thing to use in the eye. In the meantime you can use the eye drops you already have to keep the eye lubricated and more comfortable. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=110533 You should also consider putting her on a lysine supplement. Typically when they have an eye that looks like that it is due to a recurrent herpes virus and lysine helps to boost the immune system. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/site/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?s=lysine&hierarchy=&sort=score%20desc Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach. So sorry that Sid is having this issue. Chloramphenicol does come in a drop - we can get it here in the U.S. Maybe it is not available in the UK? I am unsure about this. The ointment is likely a better choice in this instance anyway as it lasts longer in the eye so you can apply it less frequently. If you get a drop you will need to put it in quite frequently (like every 2-4 hours) as it doesn't last long. As for the ointment just sitting on the eye, that is likely OK. Enough is probably getting where it needs to be. If he is having trouble blinking you may have to do it for him. I usually apply the ointment and then close the eyelids with my fingers and gently rub the upper eyelid to spread the ointment over the eyeball. I do this whether or not a tarrsorrhaphy (third eyelid flap) has been performed or not. I know this is not fun to do and cats are not usually the best patients. Just do the best you can. If he is trying to fight you, y
