Eye Infection - Pet Pad

Antonia · 11-02-2009, 11:05 PM

My kitten has an eye infection of some sort that keeps spreading from eye to eye. First it was the left eye, and the doctor prescribed me erythromycin (topical antibiotic) that I applied twice a day for 5 days. That eye cleared up, but on the 4th day, the right eye got inflamed. I did the same with the right eye, which is now clear, and the left eye is jacked up again. What the hell do I do!!

I say go back to the vet, there is other medicine he should be able to give you.

Does she have allergies? That could be causing it. Is there anything that could easily be getting in her eyes such as cedar shavings or dirt? I'd go back to the vet and see what he/she says though.

Go back to the vet, maybe they can prescribe an oral antibiotic. My dog is on one for an eye infection.
