We got a kitten who was a barn kitten and he developed a cold and eye infection very quickly. Then I as well as my two kids developed an eye infection. The cat has been on three rounds of creme the eyes clear up and then as soon as I stop the eye treatment it comes back. Same with us! The infection we have is different from anything I have ever experiences - the ye looks a little pink or cloudy but nothing very obvious but they itch and sting a lot and are irritated - it comes and goes. Now we all have this cycle going on and I can't seem to cure anyone!!! I am positive this came from the cat to us.

Why does my cat have bloodshot eyes?

Your cat probably strached his eye. when you are dealing with eyes, the best treatment is from a doctor. Take it to the vet. If there is a scratch in the cornea he will need some antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection from getting started while it heals. If it is an eye infection call "conjuntivitis" it will still need opthalmic ointment or drops to clear it up. It is probably something simple, but why take a chance with cat loosing his sight. opthalmalic ointment works very well.

What can you do for a feline eye infection?

Thoroughly vacuum and dust your entire house. Your cat possibly has allergies just like humans ... at least that is how our cats react to pollen and dust. Carefully rinse and wash the area with a saline solution (like contact lens cleaner). Probably since it is green, you should visit the vet for antibiotics.


Is it possible to die from having your eyes gouged out?

Yes, if the eye gouge leads to a MRSA infection. A MRSA infection is a potentially life threatening infection that can be introduced by someone with a dirty finger while eye gouging person. Even if the person being eye gouged had previously had a MRSA infection, the fact they were eye gouged and the eye gouge introduced the infection, could lead to death. Eye gouging is an evil act. The only time you'd do it is if you're in a war situation and your being attacked by people who want to kill you.

Can you give cat amoxicllon for eye infection?

While a vet may prescribe amoxycillin (Clavamox) for an eye infection, it is unlikely; amoxycillin is usually a suspension that contains things that are not good for eyes, and administered by mouth it is unlikely to get to the eyes. Your vet will likely be able to prescribe eye drops that contain an antibiotic that is safe for your cat's eyes.

dust or pollen may get inside your cat's eye, making the cat's eye watery. for this reason, it does not last for long (the watery condition) if the cat's eye watery for a long time, it may due to other reason/reasons. then, you should consult a vet for a better answer and better treatment for the cat.
