I found some tobradex anti biotic drops. My 2 kittys have eye problems and someone said they needs anti biotic?

Where the heck do you think all the medications come from!? There are more medications approved for animals & not for humans than the other way around!

----------------------------------------

Tobradex (tobramycin) ophthalmic is perscribed by veterinaians (for cats) when appropriate to the individual situation.

The $64k question here is - has the medication expired *AND* do the kittens *really* need it?

Start by cleaning their eyes w/ plain SALINE SOLUTION like for contact lenses, add extra drops of saline one clean & try a PLAIN "over the counter eye ointment" to start. Try this several times for at least 1 day.

If there is still pus in their eyes & the medication has not expired & you *really* cannot afford to go to the vet... it is better than nothing.

Someone really needs to clean your dad's drugs out the medicine cabinet, your mom would be the best to judge which need to be flushed or tossed & which can be hung on to.

Don't give your cats medication designed for humans unless it's approved by your vet. Medications which are beneficial to humans can be toxic to your cats.

Different eye infections require different treatments - again, consult with your vet to make sure you're giving the right medication.

Go to the vet and get real anti-biotics for cats. They might also be expired.

Your kittens may have a form of herpes that cats get when they are born.

The vet will prescribe a special creme for them.

NO!! You should not use human medication on animals. If you do not have the money to take your cats to the vet, see the link below for options and possible help.

well go to the vet so they can tell u the side effects if they take that
