Sushi's eyes are not scratched. He's already been to the vet to have them checked out. It is conjunctivitis and I've been putting ointment in his eyes for over a week.Originally posted by catfamily
I get Terramycin through Healthypets.com but do not use this in their eye if you think the eye is scratched.(very important).Scratched eyes must be seen by the vet.But I heard that it will cause ulcers under the eyes if it is stratched or open wound.It is great for conjunctivitis.It is a ointment.If the eye is scratched you need a soothing safe eye rinse or safe ointment with NO antibiotics in it.Better to ask a vet for something like that as I'm not sure what it is that's safe.As for the cold..usually they don't give Clavamox unless the throat or lungs sound terrible or a cough and a runny nose with yellow or greenish color.(I think).If the snots are clear you may be OK to wait.But don't take my word.It's just what I hear.Good Luck.Carla
Kirin is the one with the cold. His lungs don't sound horrible and he has a little bit of a runny nose if he lays down, but it's clear - not yellow or green. His appetite is great and he plays all the time. His breathing is just a little more labored than the other cat's and he sneezes.
I'll check out healthypets.com. Thanks.![]()
