eye infection

I just got back from the vet's office -- for the last three days my cat Leon (a gorgeous 5 1/2 year old grey & white tabby cat) has been squinting in one eye. This eye was also runny, and had a yellow discharge. I was told by the vet that it's probably conjunctivitis ( ), and given eye drops (Neomycin and Polymyxin) to give him 2X/day for the next 10-14 days.

Anybody had a cat with a similar condition? I'm pretty sure he'll be fine -- his eye is already less squinty and the vet administered his first eye drops about two hours ago! -- but I'd love to hear from someone who had a similar experience with a good outcome. I'm a very nervous cat companion! :)

Those triple Antibiotic ointments work great.

You should see results very soon, be sure to keep giving it for the whole course, as it can recur.

He'll be fine.
