Vet Q & A
Can I use Optrex eye drops to clear up a stray cat's eye problem?
It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of your veterinarian. A physical exam is strongly recommended to confirm infection so the appropriate antibiotic can be used. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying conditions. If you choose to use this medication, chloramphenicol can cause serious blood abnormalities, thus should be handled with caution.

Vet Q & A
My cat needs eyedrops, but the vet is booked. What can I do?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Piper. Poor girl. You can get some sterile saline and use that to flush her eyes twice daily until you are able to get her into the vet. You should be able to find some sterile saline at a pharmacy. I hope this helps!

Vet Q & A
Are Ceflox-D eye drops safe for my Persian cat's sensitive eyes?
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!

My outdoor cat's eye is tearing with pus. What medicine can I use?
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

Can I use saline or eye drops for my cat's irritated eye discharge?
Yes, you can try just plain saline. Flush gently for a few seconds. But if you don't see any improvement within 24 hours, I would have Onyx checked out by a vet. There could be a small scratch or ulcer causing the discharge to build up, or even the start of an upper respiratory tract infection.
