If so, how many doses before seeing any improvement? It’s offered otc but I got this one through my vet. It’s an antibiotic ophthalmic ointment in case the name doesn’t ring any bells.
Hi! He’s a Persian, supposedly susceptible to eye infections and uri but he rarely gets a break with his eyes, either left or right would swell shut. He also had a uri at 5 months so I began to suspect something. Vet says he looks to healthy to worry about he thinks I’m worried about..It is fairly common and works well as far as I know. Improvement really varies on the pet and what is going on. Why was it prescribed?
Thanks! Yes, I’ll be better with a fresh tube and I’ll place an order later tonight and they can call in tomorrow for the rx.Ask your vet for the ointment he responds to better. They are similar, but not quite the same. I suggest that you give him a full treatment as prescribed.
Also, wipe his eyes with a warm damp cloth daily to prevent infection.
I think so too. Funny thing is I know this is how antibiotics work but since I see full recovery within hours I never thought I’d continuing for a full week twice a day.I think you should finish the prescription. That's the recommended thing for antibiotics. You don't want the infection coming back evolved and needing even stronger antibiotics.
Thank you!My goodness - this is a lot to digest.
Has a basic broad-spectrum antibiotic been tried? If the dermatitis is bacterial it should clear it up. Then, keeping him groomed and his face cleaned should keep him in tip-top shape.
Good his eyes are clear and he is eating well!
