Expert Answer

The type of eye drop for a cat’s inflamed eye depends on the site and severity of the inflammation. For ordinary conjunctivitis, drops containing levofloxacin or neomycin sulfate can effectively relieve it.

If the cat has keratitis or corneal ulcers, use drops that promote corneal recovery. It is best to take the cat to the vet to identify the cause and type of inflammation and apply targeted treatment.

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. 2336 views · Eye Conditions How to tell if a Siamese cat is purebred? 3678 views · Eye Conditions For the past three or four days, my cat has developed what look like scratched blood scabs above both eyes, and they are increasing.
