I've never heard about that but I wish Jasmine all the best.

Filou has experience with ointment for the eyes. He had to get it morning and evening and at that time usually left the room when he saw my husband and me being in the same room

After 3 days he even disappeared magically when I said from upstairs in the friendliest of voices "I'm coming down -catch him!"

So I hope Jasmine is a well-behaved kitty
