...as if an eye infection can be comfortable...

PJ went to the vet this morning - her eye got all goopy and runny yesterday, so we took her in. She's got an infection, we have ointment to give her 3x a day for 2 weeks. She's had one infection before, and it cleared up with the medication. However, this infection looks worse than that, and she is quite uncomfortable.

What can I do to make her feel better - anything? I want to just wipe all the goop off of her face that's coming out of her eye with a warm cloth.

How do you help your eye infected kitties?

I use a cotton ball with warm water pressed gently on the infected eye as needed to keep the goop cleared off. Usually they seem to like it so it must be soothing.I do think its best to keep the eye discharge cleaned off around the eye. Hope your kitty gets better soon.
