I am so discouraged... about 3 weeks ago, my cat's eye was extremely watery and had brown tears all around her eye...under her eyelid seemed red. So I took her to the vet and got an antibiotic ointment. It seemed like her eye was clearing up...then, after a week, it was suddenly very red and swollen--worse than before. So I took her back to the vet and got antibiotic drops. I used those for a week and the eye was clearing up nicely. I stopped using it last Thursday, but there were times she still was winking a little. This morning, her eye was looking really good --open all the way, so I was happy. After work, it was still looking good. Then I ran out for an hour...came back...and her eye was a complete mess. Red around it, the conjuctiva swollen so much I couldn't see her eyeball, yellow gunk in the eye, watering....why???? I don't understand why it isn't staying gone. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? I really want to hear that this is gonna go away...
Before this happened, I gave the cats canned fish and I noticed she was really cleaning her face afterwards....maybe she scratched her eye? (Her nails were long...I just trimmed them in case she hurt herself while cleaning) Allergic to the fish? Irritated because I opened the windows? Or I just stopped the drops too early?
