If there is pus, then there is probably an infection/conjunctivitis. You can try Terramycin eye ointment. It is the only one that does not require a prescription. We are not allowed to write prescriptions over the internet for animals we have never examined - it's against the law. So, try this twice a day for 5-7 days and if it doesn't help she will need to see a vet. https://www.jefferspet.com/products/terramycin-eye-ointment

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I only recommend erythromycin or terramycin be used in a cats eye. I recommend, if Riley is having an issue with her eyes, that you see a Veterinarian before putting anything in them. You don't want to do more harm than good. Cats are very sensitive and can react to many eye medications and can react to them all! I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to the upper respiratory infection or an ulcer for example. Regardless, he is likely going to need eye medications. I recommend you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Hello, Yes, this drug can be prescribed to be given orally to cats for the treatment of herpes. I'd recommend making an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the best treatment plan for her. Special pharmacies can make oral medications in cat-friendly flavors, like tuna, and this can help make the medication experience much easier. Sometimes this disease is still going to require eye drops as well though. I'd recommend trying to train her and make the eye drop experience better with positive reinforcement, treats, toys, etc to maintain this condition best over time. I hope this helps.

It looks like your cat has a seriously deep corneal ulcer. I cannot suggest any treatment without examining her myself. This probably needs surgery. All you are doing with the Ciplox is preventing infection - that will not heal this. You need to take her to a vet for an exam. In the meantime, I recommend you use an eye ointment (not a liquid drop) on the eye as it will protect the cornea better. https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/tetracycline-eye-ointment-11084634148.html
