Hi,
I've got this litter of 8 kittens, 6 wks old. Three of them have developed pink eye. A couple are intermittantly sneezeing. All are eating, playing, etc. I've been treating the pink eye with terrimycin eye ointment for 3 days.
I'm assumeing the whole litter will get it, but so far it hasn't spread to the other kittens. How long does it take for pink eye to clear up? Do you think it will clear up with terrimycin? If I take them to the vet, it's going to cost approx. $20 per each kitten & mother, for an exam, plus a $4 office visit fee, then of course more eye medication.
I'm thinking I should work on it maybe 5 to 7 days, and see if it clears up, or starts getting better. I don't want to let it go too long, if other people have tried terrimycin & it doesn't work.
