Cat Eye and Ear Medicine: Treat Infections and Diseases

If you suspect your cat has an eye or ear infection, it’s worth scheduling an appointment with their veterinarian. While cat eye infections are common in young felines they can be a sign of a more serious condition in older pets. Typically eye infections are caused by bacteria but they can also result from an autoimmune disease or cancer.

Because cat ear infections are rarer, be on the lookout for symptoms that include a strong odor, discharge from the ear or a loss of balance. By consulting your pet’s veterinarian they can diagnose your feline and prescribe the right cat eye treatment or ear medicine to get them back on track.

How Can I Treat My Cat's Ear Infections?

If your cat has an ear infection there’s a good chance ear mites are to blame. But if your veterinarian rules out these critters, other concerns such as allergies, a mass, or something stuck in your feline’s ear can be the root cause. Since cat ear infections are usually a secondary condition, so it’s important to identify the primary condition carefully.

How are Eye Infections & Glaucoma Treated in Cats?

It hurts to see your feline’s eyes red or inflamed. If the cause of their irritation is from a contagious eye infection, then you'll find eye drops for cats that are formulated to help reduce itching or dryness. For more serious ailments, ask your vet about eye medicine that helps cats combat KCS or glaucoma symptoms. Learn more about the prescription cat eye care at Petco and what each medication treats:
