Hi,
I was wondering what eye drops are safe for cats?
My cat has very bad allergies. He is on allergy shots but still gets itchy eyes. The vet said any allergy eye drops will work,but I know I read something about some being unsafe but I can't seem to find the article.
I've been using lubricating eye drops but those don't help very much.
He is on lysine in case it is herpes, as he did have a uri as a kitten but that was many years ago. I think this is more allergy related as even on antihistamines he still itches like crazy which is why he is on allergy shots. Poor boy has to have injections every three days and is on allergy medicine morning and night.
Ideas? He is allergic to just about everything. I feel so bad for him. He wears a cone 24/7 as he is so itchy! The shots have helped. His sores have finally healed but his eyes still itch. He does have red crusts on the corner of the eye. No infection as far as I can tell. No squinting. Just sometimes they get red and itchy!
The vet says his eyes look fine but I still worry. Ever since he was a kitten he has had problems seeing objects that are close to him. He can see the laser across the room but not next to him. The same with finding treats on the floor. I think he needs glasses.
He is a very special cat! He has so many medical issues. I spend a small fortune between his urinary issues, special diets, and his medications.
