What is the treatment for eye infections in kittens?
The treatment for eye conditions depends on the symptoms i.e. allergies, injury, infection. Some kittens can have too much damage since they are so young and can lose the eye. Most kittens, although, can safely be treated with erythromycin or terramycin eye ointments/suspensions. The only concern is if there is an ulcer or abrasion to the eye, you want to be aware and not use something with a steroid component in it. We have worked with numerous kittens over the years with the local cat rescues and they are experts in working with minimal resources.
