Hi everyone,

I came across this forum when searching for a solution to my cats eye problem and you all seen very informative so I wondered if you could help?

On new years eve our cat came in with blood on his nose so we immediately took him to the vet who soon found two puncture wounds in his neck and established that he had been in a cat fight (although he couldn't see anything wrong with his nose). So anyway, we were given some antibiotics for his wounds in case of infection.
The next day we woke up and noticed he couldn't open one of his eyes properly and it was running with a milky fluid. Back to the vets we go - they now say he has conjunctivitis and they give us Fucithamic Vet drops (Fusidic acid). However we gave him these for a couple of days and here wasn't any improvement in the eye, so we went back again and they prescribed Maxitrol. Now this has worked with the runny eye and the swelling but after 4 days of these new drops his inner eyelid is still very red and slightly showing more than it should. The vet said not to give him the drops for more than 5 days which is tomorrow, so I'm not sure what to do with him if he's not better by tomorrow? He's fine otherwise and eating normally.
Does anyone have any advice to share?
Thanks in advance!

If there is injury or ulceration then usually drops or ointments wit steroids sould not be used. I know maxitrol is antibiotic and steroid not sure about fucitalmic I tink its just antibiotic but you will have to check. Maybe he has a scratch or injury to the inner eyelid.
