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.

Will a cat stepping on your pillow give you pink eye?

No, a cat stepping on your pillow will not directly give you pink eye. Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is typically caused by bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or irritants, not by contact with pets. However, if the cat has an infection and then comes into contact with your pillow, there is a slight chance of transferring bacteria or viruses. It's always a good idea to maintain good hygiene and clean bedding regularly.


How much penicillin should you give your cat for an eye infection?

You don't want to give your cat penicillin. If the cat has a puncture wound, it will become or already has become an abscess. That is where the wound does not heal properly from the inside out and closes over with the infection trapped inside. Take your cat into a Veterinarian to have it checked out. Normally they will clean out the abscess and put a penrose drain in it so it can continue to drain out the infection & then heal properly from the inside to the outside. The Vet will also put the cat on antibiotics, the proper ones for that type of infection.
