I need help please, Mykee's eyes were really bad, she cant open her eyes if i will not clean it with wet cotton cloth, because of the yellowgreen discharge from her eyes. We went to vet few days ago but the vet said its just normal in kittens and she
I am so sorry to hear that Mykee is uncomfortable. Conjunctivitis is common in kittens with upper respiratory infections. Most of the time these are viral, but we often use antibiotics drops or ointment in the eyes to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Terramycin is one of the commonly used topical medications. I would encourage you to call your veterinarian and ask about the possibility of a prescription. I would also encourage you to monitor her closely for any coughing , sneezing, or decreased appetite. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Can I use Terramycine for my cat's running eyes?
Terramycin is an antibiotic that can be used for bacterial conjunctivitis. But runny eyes doesn’t mean infection. I would have Penelope examined by a vet to determine the cause to start an appropriate treatment.

Hi there! We're fostering kittens for the first time and we've had one with a number of issues. We've addressed the fleas and diarrhea; the shelter vet administered a deworming medication & approved the weight of the kitten. The kitten has also ha
Poor kitty. The condition you have described here is called distichia, which is where the eyelash grows in an abnormal spot, causing constant rubbing on the eye cornea. This is usually treated with 2 things. First topical eye ointment to resolve the infection. In this case the Terramycin is a viable option. And second you have to get the abnormally grown eyelash removed surgically. This is usually done with cryotherapy through a referral from your General practioner vet. I would ask your vet for a referral to an ophthalmologist to have this procedure done so that you can fix the underlying problem here. I hope that your kitty KM is able to get this resolved soon. It definitely looks like the eye may also need addititional eye ointments if there is more damage here. The bluish hint to the eye suggests that there may also be corneal edema (excessive fluid bulid up inside the eye), which may require an additional ointment for complete resolution. Best wishes with KM moving forward.

My cat scratched my dogs eye( again) have Terramycin eye ointment know to do 3 Times a day can’t remember how long to apply.
Whenever there is an injury to the eye it is very important to have your vet examine the eye to see if there is an abrasion or possibly even a rupture of the cornea. If this is the case, treatment options are very different as is the prognosis of saving the eye. If the Terramycin was from a previous injury it may or may not be appropriate to use this time. Also, if it has been more than 30 days since it was last used it should be discarded. Since the eye is such a delicate structure, I strongly recommend you take Thumper to your veterinarian for an examination.

My dog was diagnosed with a superficial eye ulcer on 9/14 (took her to ER immediately when I noticed something wrong). She was given 10 day's Tx with Vetropolycin. Took her to regular vet yesterday for a re-check and it's still there! She said it's t
Hello. When an infection or lesion has been treated for a time & it has not totally cleared up, it is always a good idea to switch to another medication. Vetropolycin is a triple antibiotic containing Bacitracin, Polymyxin & Neomycin & is generally prescribed for conjunctivitis. Terramycin contains oxytetracycline which is a bit more broad spectrum & is indicated in treating not only conjunctivitis, but other ocular conditions including corneal ulcers. Some ulcers do indeed heal very quickly, but sometimes we do run into a stubborn one. As long as the ulcer seems to be resolving, continue the medication & do make sure you have your veterinarian recheck the eye in about a week. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
