Bugsy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Given the numerous reasons that can cause eye infections in a cat, surely a visit to the vets is the first priority Mags.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild geese Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks Bugsy for your prompt reply,Yes I agree with you, but funds are very low and I was hoping for a cheaper alternative until I can afford to take her to the vet.Thanks Mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I always have a tube of Aureomycin pommade ophtalmique here in case of emergency. My Vet says it's fine to use it for a couple of days while waiting to see him and it usually clears up any infection very quickly.Clean the eye first with warm water, wiping from the nose to the outer eye and put the ointment in in the same direction.SEE A VET IF THINGS DON'T CLEAR UP AFTER 48 HOURS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild geese Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Thanks moonraker for your advice,I bought some 'sulfa collyre' from the pharmacy and have been using it as directed and have been cleaning the eye as directed and things seem to be improving, swelling has gone down a lot and not weeping as much, It says to use the drops for eight days. so finger crossed. Thanks again,Mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
