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!

Are Tobramycin eye drops safe for my cat with kidney disease?
I think you may have found information on aminoglycoside antibiotics in general - I cannot find any reports of topical ophthalmic tobramycin causing either kidney disease or calcium chelation in veterinary patients. Aminoglycoside antibiotics might cause these side effects when taken orally or given injectably.

Can I use old Tobramycin eye drops for my dog's green eye discharge?
If it is just a little bit of discharge, then I would continue to monitor it. Tobramycin is an antibiotic, and if it was prescribed for Jackie, it should be safe. But you don't want to accidentally treat a bacterial infection when the true cause of the discharge is something like a corneal ulcer. Applying this medication before a vet makes a diagnosis may make it harder for the vet to determine the cause of the issue, if needed. Use a warm wet washcloth to remove the discharge. If it continues in a couple of hours, I would recommend that you call the vet that prescribes the medication to see if they recommend an exam or that you use the ointment.

Pet's eyes still look bad after a week of tobramycin drops. What now?
Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It's a bit difficult to say for sure from the picture but it does look like Turbo's eyes are still having an issue. It may be helpful for you to post more information about Turbo's history and if the tobramycin is being used to treat conjunctivitis or a corneal ulcer. It looks to me like Turbo should be rechecked by a veterinarian to see if another medication is warranted. Good luck to you and Turbo!

My rabbit needs medicine. Can Petco help with a prescription?
\unfortunately we cannot prescribe any medications through this service. your rabbit seems to be suffering from a blocked tear duct, probably due to an upper respiratory infection (pasteurelosis), you need to take him to the vet as he needs a course of antibiotics, he will also likely need to have his tear duct deblocked/flushed under a very short general anesthesia.
