I have antibiotic drops on hand at all times. We've used them on the hamsters, cats and dogs. I am not sure what the weather is like where you are, but spring has sprung in SC and along with it lots of pollen, which irritates not only human eyes, but our pet's eyes too. I use warm water on a washcloth and bathe the eye area to clean it and then put in the drops when needed. So far......haven't had the need for any drops yet this spring, and nobody is itching either. Thank goodness!

I hope the kitty's eyes will be better soon.
