Can I get over-the-counter antibiotic eye drops for kittens?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately no. :( Tobramycin is an antibiotic eye drop. Anything that contains an antibiotic requires a prescription. Also when it comes to eyes we have to very careful with what we prescribe, making sure it is safe for the eye and the condition being treated. If the kittens are having eye issues it’s best to have them seen to obtain a prescription. Good luck!

Vet Q & A
Dog eye drops: Should I give anti-inflammatory or antibiotic first?
You can use apo-diclofenac first then wait at least 10 minutes before applying the other medication. They are both drops (not ointment) so even if you have given them the other way round (tobramycin first), absorption and efficacy is fine.

Vet Q & A
My dog's eye is squinting. Should I use Isathal or Exocin eye drops?
Both are antibiotic ointments, so I would recommend sticking with the Isathal for now and scheduling another appointment if she's not feeling better after 24 hours. You can increase the frequency of the Isathal because extra lubrication can help with comfort. Another thing to ask your veterinarian about it placing a contact on her eye - not all vets have these in their offices, but if they do it can help a lot with comfort. Good luck to you and Jasmine. I hope she's feeling much better soon!

Vet Q & A
My 5-month-old cat sneezes with yellow eye mucus. Can I use Tobrex?
This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). Often viral diseases are responsible for it in cats. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed; yes Tobrex can be used for 3 days twice daily on both eyes but it is unlikely to resolve the problem. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Dog eye cloudy after stray cat exposure? Antibiotics or steroids?
Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like a corneal ulcer, I suspect Rex was scratched by the kitten. Please, do not use steroids as they are contraindicated in corneal wounds. Antibiotics eye drops is a much better idea. Please, call one of your local vets that is open and get the advise on what antibiotics eye drops are available in your country.
