I've used it for my bunnies as eye drops, as he has allergic reactions to other vet Rx'd eye drops. So I know it is safe, and I'd think it would be effective against both the virus and the bacteria. One vet we sometimes use says neosporin is useless--too many bugs are resistant to it. His 2 cents. You might want to check in with CSCats-Dogs (a Yahoo group) and see if others have used CS for similar eye infections. paula -- Dinsdale and Julius Groucho, Bailey and Thumper (bunnies); Spati and Ripi (cats) mailto: [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected]
We've got a cat that apparently has a viral infection on the cornea of one eye. Vet suggested anti-viral meds, which I turned down... then ended up sending us home with atropine ointment to dilate the eye, as well as an antibiotic ointment to prevent a secondary bacterial infection (which incidentally, has the exact same ingredients as Neosporyn). At any rate, I'm not real crazy about the idea of using either of these in his eye. So, I'm just curious what you guys think about using CS, both as drops and orally? TIA, Mike (and Dexter the cat) :-)
