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.
Dog eye had an ulcer, treated with anti-inflammatories and drops, healed, then two days later the whole eye turned blue; used ofloxacin and bFGF drops alternately, blue gone, but the black part is crystal-red; 10 days less red but not normal. What now?
Since the eye improved with medication, continue a while to see full recovery. Blue tint suggests corneal damage; the drops repair cornea. If not fully recovered, get an eye exam at a vet.
My 8-month-old ferret ate 3-4 levofloxacin tablets two days ago and is now weak and lethargic
Levofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic, has sedative effects and can irritate the gut and central nervous system. With weakness and lethargy already showing, take the ferret to a vet promptly; do not medicate blindly.
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 hamster makes squeaking ‘pu pu’ sounds, a few times a day, for about ten days; enrofloxacin 4 days has not helped much.
Squeaking usually means a respiratory infection (cold, allergy, asthma) or dusty bedding. Check for sneezing and discharge; if cold-like, use small-pet anti-inflammatory medicine under a vet's guidance.
My hamster’s eye has been inflamed for a month; levofloxacin drops didn’t help. A red bump grew on its belly.
Hamster eye inflammation is usually bacterial; if levofloxacin fails, rinse with saline and switch to neomycin drops, and keep the cage clean. For the belly red bump, apply antibiotic ointment like erythromycin.
My hamster has been kept over a year; last week its eye was slightly inflamed. I read online to use saline, but none was available locally, so I bought levofloxacin eye drops and used them three times daily. It worsened, and now the eyeball is shrunken, probably blind, the eye stays open and protruding. Last night the saline arrived and I applied some, then it seemed to bleed. I am a student and just want to know how long it can live; there is no vet nearby and I can only use saline and eye drops.
From your description, the hamster's eye may be conjunctivitis with secondary tissue adhesion, a complication after eye inflammation, worsened by poor care and wrong medicine. Tight adhesion may stop the pupil from dilating and contracting, and without professional eye exam and surgery it may die after a while. Hamsters are tiny with low self-healing. Use pet-specific cleaner, not human eye drops; if no improvement, see a vet.
Enrofloxacin for Pets: What It Treats and Key Safety Notes
Enrofloxacin is a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic made for animals. It works by blocking a bacterial enzyme needed for DNA replication, and it is commonly used for urinary, reproductive, digestive, and skin or soft-tissue infections in dogs and cats. It is prescription-only: typical oral dosing is 5–10 mg/kg per day, and several groups should never receive it. Always follow your veterinarian's plan.
How to Treat Dog Pneumonia
Pneumonia treatment centers on antibiotics, cough and phlegm relief, and supportive care; severe cases need hospital equipment. Keep the air fresh, skip dry kibble for a warm meat broth, and keep the dog warm.
Symptoms of Leptospirosis in Pets
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection of dogs and cats caused by pathogenic Leptospira, often silent but marked by fever, jaundice, anemia, edema, hemoglobinuria, bleeding, and in severe cases kidney and liver failure. It spreads through urine, contaminated water, and bites, peaks in warm wet seasons, and is diagnosed by signs plus kidney and liver damage. Prevention is vaccination and rodent control; treatment is antibiotics plus supportive care, avoiding streptomycin when kidneys are involved.
