One of the little colony members has shown up for the past several days with tearing that progressively worsened so I went ahead and took him to the Vet and he was sent home with oral antibiotic drops, some topical eye ointment and I am to give them both twice daily. His eye itself looks fine, I hope to keep it that way, its just his third eyelid which is pinkish, and a little swollen. I cannot e-collar him as he is an outdoor kitty and he wouldn't tolerate one even if I tried to keep him in for a bit. Its a good thing he's on scheduled meals so he shows up twice daily and hangs around my porch. So I am wondering is there anything else I might be able to do for him, as his eye sometimes crusts shut. Since starting the antibiotics today, it has not yet crusted shut. I am a bit of a worrier if you will, because of one time when I'd found a kitten with his eyes so terribly bad, there was nothing that could be done for him. As such, it has me a bit jumpy when any of mine display any eye issues.
