Cat brought home June 17, June 18 started yellow thick nasal discharge, normal appetite/stools/energy; eye drops since 18th, no relief. What to do?
Kitten runny nose may be respiratory infection; with eye signs, rule out rhinotracheitis. As a new cat, get a full vet check to find the cause. If simple cold, pet cold medicine.
What eye drops work best for feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu)?
Treatment of cat flu begins with antiviral therapy, including feline interferon injections and antibiotics. For cats showing eye symptoms, erythromycin eye ointment, ofloxacin eye drops, or chloramphenicol eye drops can help relieve discomfort.
My cat’s eye hasn’t improved after a week of levofloxacin drops – what now?
The blurry photo prevents diagnosis; since drops did not help, stop self-medicating and get a veterinary eye exam for proper treatment.
My cat has a tear film, thick eye discharge, and crusted, heat-like sores on the lip – 3 days, no improvement with ofloxacin, chloramphenicol or detox drops – what is it?
The photo suggests a respiratory or viral infection; mouth discharge points to calicivirus. Treat with interferon and antibiotics, plus an antibacterial oral spray and neomycin eye drops.
My cat’s feline rhinotracheitis did not improve after a week of Tobradex drops, with eyes stuck shut and white discharge – what medicine works?
Rhinotracheitis is a herpesvirus infection; eye drops alone are not enough. A vet should give interferon and lysine plus pet-specific eye drops; do not use human eye drops.
My Cat’s Eye Drops Haven’t Helped After Days and I Can Barely See — What’s Wrong?
A white film over the eye may be keratitis needing corneal repair drugs. A vet exam avoids wrong medication.
Two months ago my cat’s right eye suddenly wouldn’t open and it wouldn’t let me touch it. A vet said it was the cornea and gave two bottles of drops. I used them a long time with no effect, stopped for a while, and it seemed worse – the eye is now cloudy. Another vet also said just keep using drops, but a few more times brought no change. I miss its two bright eyes; now only one is fine, which is heartbreaking. (The right eye has watered a lot since kittenhood – tears when it eats.)
Feline keratitis causes increased discharge, corneal cloudiness, and eye swelling. Common causes include bacterial or viral infection, trauma, and entropion. If the cornea stays cloudy and shows no improvement after prolonged medication, suspect that the infection has worsened into a corneal ulcer or corneal sequestrum, meaning the current medication may be ineffective. It is best to seek a specialized veterinary eye hospital for systematic treatment.
My cat’s eyes water and won’t open; what type and brand of eye drops should I use?
If tearing is from bacterial infection, clean with saline then apply any antibacterial eye drop like neomycin several times daily, and see a vet if no improvement in 3-5 days. Keep the environment clean and the cat from hiding in dusty places.
What eye drops for inflamed cat eyes?
The right eye drop depends on the cause. Ordinary conjunctivitis responds to levofloxacin or neomycin drops; keratitis or ulcers need cornea-repair drops. See a vet for a precise diagnosis.
What eye drops are good for cat conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis is usually bacterial or viral. Bacterial cases are rinsed with boric or alum solution then treated with antibiotic drops and ointment; viral (herpes) cases need antiviral eye drops plus systemic support.
