Hi everyone!

My kitten has developed conjunctavitis, red eyes, goopy. I clean it with a cotton bud dipped in warm water and salt, which keeps it clear and removes most goop. It's still not going away though. It doesnt seem to affect him very much to be honest, he still runs around like a crazy kitten and snuggles and eats and drinks normally without any issues. I have read on various sites that people swear by using Apple cider vinegar on the back of thier cats necks and that it cures it. Is this true? I bought some today and im going to try it. If after a few days it hasnt cleared up ill take him to the vet. Does anyone have any success stories or opinions on this? Am i wrong in trying to use homeopathic remedies to avoid costly vet bills? As i said he hasnt changed at all behaviourally so I dont think this is an emergency. but again.. i could be wrong.

Thanks guys :)

Conjunctivitis is caused by bacteria in the eye, which causes inflammation.

Apple cider vinegar on the back of his neck will have zero effect on those bacteria. (And please don't put it in his eye)

Please take your cat to a vet. :vibes:
