Sweetie has been tearing in one eye on and off. I came upon a pet product callrd optixcare eye wipes for cats and dogs. Is this a good product to use to clean her eye.
It's ok to use to clean the eyes but if one eye is tearing there is probably something wrong with it, possibly an infection, and this will need to be treated with a different product which only a vet can prescribe.

I've had 4 cats for the last 5 years, and every once in a while they will get eye infections. We just moved to a new area about 6 months ago, and my new vet will not prescribe me antibiotics without bringing my cat in, which I do not feel is necessar
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!

Cat ear wash product has tea tree oil is it safe? NaturVet Ear Wash with Tea Tree Oil for Dogs & Cats
That would likely be safe as long as the ear drum is normal. Sometimes infections if the ear can cause the ear drum to tear. EpiOtic ear cleaner is another option that is safe and should be ok even if the ear drum is slightly damaged.

my cat has one watery eye. she can still open it and is behaving normally. she has had an eye infection a few weeks ago and we're prescribed erythromycin gel. should we use that again?
If the eye discharge is clear then an infection is not present, so you don't have to use the eye gel (erythromycin). Instead you should use an anti-viral supplement such as Lysine gel/powder from your local pet store or vet clinic. Cats are prone to viral infections which can cause watery eye discharge and reddish discharge. The use of antibiotics is only needed when a secondary infection is also present. Lysine powder/gel can be given throughout Richard's lifespan to help boost her immune system and help ward off future viral infections (i.e. herpesvirus).

Hello! My vet prescribed Efex (marbofloxacin) for one of our cats experiencing issues with balance, after diagnosing the problem as otitis interna. However, the duration of treatment is 42 days, and I read that fluoroquinolones should not be given to
Hello. I would be very cautious about using the Efex for such a long period of time. Our veterinary formulary says the maximum use in cats should not exceed 30 days, but even at this time frame, you can still wind up with side effects from the long term use of any flouroquinolone, or run into a problem with antibiotic resistance. If the otitis interna was definitively diagnosed by radiography & myringotomy & this antibiotic was chosen based on a culture & sensitivity, then I would administer the antibiotic with frequent rechecks. Otherwise, an MRI may be necessary to confirm the condition. This may be the antibiotic to use, but 42 days is a bit worrisome. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
