I have a hypercalcemic cat on bi-phosphates that was prescribed Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% and I'm reading warnings that this can cause kidney issues and something about calcium chelation and I'm concerned that since he is predisposed to CKD
I think you may have found information on aminoglycoside antibiotics in general - I cannot find any reports of topical ophthalmic tobramycin causing either kidney disease or calcium chelation in veterinary patients. Aminoglycoside antibiotics might cause these side effects when taken orally or given injectably.

I was wondering if there is an over the counter version of Tobramyacin 0.5% drops, that would sphere safe for kittens?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately no. :( Tobramycin is an antibiotic eye drop. Anything that contains an antibiotic requires a prescription. Also when it comes to eyes we have to very careful with what we prescribe, making sure it is safe for the eye and the condition being treated. If the kittens are having eye issues it’s best to have them seen to obtain a prescription. Good luck!

Good day. My cat is 5 months old. It sneezes a lot and has yellow mucus coming from his eye. This happened after I bathed him. The earliest vet appointment is on 8/1/2018. What can I do to treat him? Can I use Tobrex antibiotic eye drops? Did my cat
This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). Often viral diseases are responsible for it in cats. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed; yes Tobrex can be used for 3 days twice daily on both eyes but it is unlikely to resolve the problem. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

My cats eye started to get watery last night and it seems to be getting worse today. Most vet clinics are closed and the only one that is open charges more than I can afford. I'm trying to see if someone can look at the pictures to determine what wou
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!

My kitten has a nasty URI with badly swollen eyes and he won’t stop rubbing them. They start to look better and then he runs them and irritates hem all over again. I have tobramycin drops for his eyes but the vet only instructed putting in the drops
Tobramycin is an antibiotic. It will not help to alleviate itching or swelling. You will need to call your vet to get something for that - there is nothing over the counter you can put in the eyes for this. So sorry. The best you can do is use a cool/cold compress on the eyes which should help some - 5 minutes at a time if he will let you. Do this every few hours until you can talk to your vet.
