What should I do if my cat’s eyes are inflamed? Is it suitable to use human eye drops? For example, the editor’s cat is Garfield (details). Because the nose is relatively short, the eyes are particularly prone to problems. The cat looks teary all day long. Yes, and there is a lot of eye mucus. If you don't wipe it for a day, your eyes will be covered with eye droppings. Occasionally, the eyes will give you a huge surprise. Suddenly, you will find that one day, the cat’s eyes can’t be opened, and they are swollen and shiny. At this time, there is no eye drops for cats at home, what should I do?
Can I use human eye drops if my cat’s eyes are inflamed?
Can cats use human eye drops? There are many kinds of human eye drops, including anti-virus, anti-fatigue, etc. For safety reasons, I personally do not recommend that you use human eye drops for cats. After all, the physiques of humans and cats are very different. People may Cats may not be able to use it. If you must use it and it is urgent, the safer option is chloramphenicol eye drops, but it cannot be used for a long time. In addition, the dosage must be controlled, one drop at a time, three times a day. Don't add it to your cat easily. It is mainly suitable for cats with relatively mild symptoms such as frequent tears and excessive eye feces. If it's conjunctivitis, it won't be of much use.
Especially in recent years, the pet market has boomed in recent years, and cat eye drops are everywhere. But not all cats are suitable for cats. The pet market is mixed, and there are many eye drops that are common to cats and dogs. Personally, it is recommended to buy cat-specific eye drops from a big brand.
In fact, chloramphenicol also has professional eye drops for cats. The editor has personally tested it. It is particularly effective for Garfield’s swollen eyes. After the drops, the swelling will basically subside the next day. , and can maintain swelling for a period of time. Garfield is a breed that is really hard to describe.
