Hello TCS community.
So, my Miballs recently had really red eyes and also a lot of goopy discharge. I took him to the vet and they diagnosed him with conjunctivitis or in other words, pink eye.
He came home with eye ointment and oral antibiotics to be administered twice a day.
He was SO GOOD when the vet put the ointment in his eyes, I'm not sure if it was because he was in a different environment or what but he hates it at home.
I feel like he hates me now because I'm the bad person who he thinks is harming him, but I wish he knew that I was just trying to help him get better. He even clawed me this morning (I wasn't even giving him meds, I was just petting him).
Aside from him hating me, I hope he doesn't take this temporary situation as my family trying to hurt him (he was a feral who has just become comfortable enough to be our pet) and in turn, run away or something alone those lines.
Please, if any of you have dealt with a similar situation...I would love to know your techniques/tips and the outcomes.
Thank you!
