My cat has a swollen eye which I thought might be conjunctivitis. He gets so stressed about the cat box, the vet and so on. In the past when he's had this I've treated it with a teabag or with salt water and this has always worked before. Not so this time. So I've bought Chloramphenicol over the counter and have just given him his first treatment. It contains 1% antibiotic. The only trouble is I'm not sure if it's an injury another of my cats may have given him. A clout out of a moment of temper. There's no sign of actual damage to the eye. The area around it is somewhat swollen and he has had a little scum around the bottom portion of the eye. He doesn't rub it and it hasn't spread.
If it's not conjunctivitis and is a slight injury would the antibiotic cream help the condition or not is what I'd like to know. Thanks.
