Last month I took in my cat because I woke up and noticed one of her eyes is swollen and inflamed with a bunch of discharge. I took her to the vet, he did a florescent color patch test, and found no wounds. He prescribed me avanticlav(amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium), and Tobermycin drops. The cat got better after a short while, but when the pills were done after 7 days, it got worse again. He gave me another 7 days, then another. After that, my cat started to get worse again. All this while still taking the drops the entire time. Doctor didnt know what to do. He prescribed me eythromycin 5 days ago, the one eye looks a little better, but the other started to get infected and I started treating it two days ago.
I also have another cat which is outdoors most of the day. He also started to show a little discharge in his eye several days ago, but I have been treating him three times a day with salt water, honey and water, and also lysine with my other cat. He seems fine most of the time, but I will still give him honey and lysine. No noticable large redness or inflammation, just regular eye redness.
I'm starting to get worried because my other cat has had the infection for this long and being on the antibiotics she was on helped, but it came back. I worried that even this medication wont fix the problem since she has redness and inflammation still, but its getting better. He told me that if this doesnt work, he will refer me to an eye specialist.
What are your thoughts on this? Anyone dealt with this before?
