My ragdoll's right eye is red. Just showed up tonight. No other symptoms as far as I can tell. Should I be worried?
My Bombay (black cat) has a red eye. I noticed it about a week ago and brought him to Banfield across the street from me. They kept him for awhile and I was to return to pick him up. The said he might have an upper respiratory infection. They gave me some ointment (neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates and dexamethasone ophthalmic usp) to put in the corner of his eye. They also gave me a prescription for eye drops (atropine). I looked up atropine online and it said that it was a dialator (sp?) medicine. I dropped off the prescription to CVS pharmacy and continued using the ointment. The eye was starting to look better and I could see his eye through the red. When CVS finally got me the prescription, I started using it on his eye. They wanted me to use these drops at least within 5 minutes of each other (the ointment). Once I started using the drops with the ointment, it got worse and turned red again. Now, I am only using the ointment and his eye is starting to show again. I am only going to use the ointment and not the drops. Why would he need a dialator for an eye infection?My ragdoll's right eye is red. Just showed up tonight. No other symptoms as far as I can tell.
