Can cats take Terramycin 343?

My cats were born with Herpes and often get eye infections as a results (approx. 1 every two years). My vet has prescribed various eye drops dependant upon the severity of the eye infection but most recently the doctor prescribed Terramycin eye ointment for an localized infection (in only one eye). Of course you have to be very careful as to what medications are used on the cat's eyes. If there is an ulcer (invisible to the naked eye - can only be determined via dye test administered by the vet) or a tear on the cornea, various drops (i.e. steroid based solutions) can injure the eye and cause a delay in healing and much pain. My best advice is to have the cat examined by a vet prior to administration of any treatment; but yes, in short, Terramycin can be prescribed for feline infections. Hope this helps!
