       What should I do if my cat’s eyes are inflamed? Is it suitable for human eye drops? For example, my cat is Garfield (details), because the nose is relatively short, so the eyes are particularly prone to problems. It seems that the cats are all tearful and have a lot of eye mucus. If you don't rub it for a day, the eye mucus can cover the entire eye. Occasionally, the eyes will give you a huge surprise, and suddenly you find that one day, the cat's eyes can't be opened, and they are swollen and shiny. At this time, there is no cat eye drops at home, what should I do?

 

     Can cats use human eye drops? There are many kinds of human eye drops, such as anti-virus, anti-fatigue, etc. For the sake of safety, I personally do not recommend that you use human eye drops for cats. Yes, cats may not be able to. If you have to use it, and it is more urgent, the safer one is chloramphenicol eye drops, but it cannot be used for a long time. In addition, the dosage should be well controlled, one drop at a time, three times a day. Don't add it to the cat easily, it is mainly suitable for the relatively mild symptoms such as frequent tears and a lot of eye mucus in the cat. If it is conjunctivitis, the effect is not much.

       And especially in recent years, the pet market has boomed in recent years, and eye drops for cats are everywhere. But not all cats are suitable for cats. The pet market is mixed with fish, and there are many eye drops for cats and dogs. Personally, it is recommended to buy eye drops for cats from big brands.

       In fact, chloramphenicol also has professional cat eye drops, which I have personally tested, and it is especially effective for Garfield’s swollen eyes. The swelling will be basically reduced the next day, and it will last for a while without swelling. The variety of Garfield is really hard to describe.
