These are the optrex eye drops I was wondering if I could use them on the stray cat. I have been using sea salt and warm water for today but wanted to know if these eye drops would clear it up

It is never recommended to medicate a pet without the advice of your veterinarian. A physical exam is strongly recommended to confirm infection so the appropriate antibiotic can be used. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying conditions. If you choose to use this medication, chloramphenicol can cause serious blood abnormalities, thus should be handled with caution.
