We have a foster litter of kittens about 4 weeks old, who all are dealing with the watery/red/swollen eye. One is now so swollen I can't see the actual eye,...
Leigh Ann - Make an eyedrop of equal parts (I usually do two tablespoons of each) 10ppm colloidal silver and pure aloe vera gel, store in refrigerator in a...
Judy...this sounds like it would be so soothing for their eyes. I'm assuming you are talking about food grade aloe vera..the kind sold from the refridgerated...
Hi Leigh Ann, What ointment did the vet give you? When I had my 2 kittens with eyes swollen and crusted shut, we had good results with Neo Poly Bac without...
We went through similar with a 6-month kitten. Took her to a vet ophthalmologist before we got help. Idoxuridine eye drops (anti-viral), l-lysine added to...
The ointment is Vetrachloracin. I'm taking him into our personal vet tomorrow, I think she is a little more knowledgeable about these kinds of viruses in...
I took the kitten to our vet today. She was very concerned that we can't get to the eye, and said yes, eye removal is one prognosis. But first she is having us...
Hi Leigh Ann, Hang in there. Many kittens come through this with their eyes intact. There are 2 possibilities for the eye issues. Viral infection and the ...
Thanks for the info, I hadn't heard the distinction between viral/bacterial infections before. I haven't seen any of the symptoms you listed under viral...
Hi Leigh Ann, I don't think the mother will have enough lysine in the milk to be effective. I gave my 2 kittens (one was 3 days old, one 3 weeks old) lysine...
I forgot to answer your other question. How old are these kittens? IF they are nursing, I would not stop them, just supplement with the meds/supplements. IF...
Hi, Hope this helps..............I have been dealing with FHV for aprox 9 years now , and have used mostly Idoxuridine, as most of what I have dealt with has...
Well all kittens are still nursing, that is good. I will see about getting some of the gel Lysine, all I have is tablets that I crush. I am REALLY having a...
I would not worry too much about the specifics. When mine had the eyes and nose crusted shut, I just took a washcloth and ran it under hot water. When it was...
Thank you, that is helpful. We started the Terramycin and Amoxycillin Saturday around noon. So far, things have only gotten worse with the eyes. Two kittens...
I would take them to the vet to be checked out. There may be more than a bacterial infection involved. Also, an anthihistamine would probably help dry the...
Leigh Ann said: Is some of this just a part of the virus running its course? I don't know about that, Leigh Ann. My Rally's first outbreak was very bad, and...
Hi, My vet said that she doesn't bother with Amoxicillin anymore, as it appears to be quite ineffective for infections. She says that clients typically have...

April, As you know, I always have the Idox on hand. I only keep it for Summer's ulcers, but she sometimes gets those very teary eyes but nothing ever comes of...
I have 3 Persians, so eye goops are us! Here's what works really well for us...especially when eye goop dries into fluffy long fur. I take soft washcloths and...
The Idoxuridine paste is from Wedgewood Pharmacy. It is the same consistency as Neosporin, so I don't know if I am calling it a paste while others consider it...

Hi Suzy, I get my Idox from Wedgewood, also. why do you use the paste instead of the drops and have you found other uses for it besides the dreaded ulcer?...
Hi Nancy, My kitten's ophthalmologist is using it as an antiviral for her non-ulcerated eye for the irritated red look, I believe, to disrupt the flare. I...
Hi Suzy, My Summer had a corneal ulcer and she had the red veins going through it too. the red veins are what clouds the eye up, sometimes you can't even see...
