Sorry no, didn't know cats could get pink eye. I have had experience with eye scratches and eye infections which required antibiotics and just warm water compresses. Good luck.

I have never heard of using chamomile only the drops or ointments from the vet.  I have heard that chamomile does help with inflammation but I don't know if it can do anything for the infection.

Thanks.   When you have no $ you look for alternatives, of course healthy ones such as chamomile tea.  People use tea poultices on their eyes for such problems.  It is soothing.    Cats can get pink eye otherwise known as conjunctivitis when they get upper respiratory infections which my Mia has had for a few weeks now.    She went to the vet a few days ago and was given an antibiotic injection.  She is eating the Hill's A/D canned food mixed with a little warm water.  Sleeps a lot which I guess is good and I have her on L Lysine also.
