My 5-month-old cat sneezes with yellow eye mucus. Can I use Tobrex?

Pet's info: Cat | Scottish Fold | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 13 days old

Good day. My cat is 5 months old. It sneezes a lot and has yellow mucus coming from his eye. This happened after I bathed him. The earliest vet appointment is on 8/1/2018. What can I do to treat him? Can I use Tobrex antibiotic eye drops? Did my cat get the cold? I appreciate your earliest answer. Thank you.

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). Often viral diseases are responsible for it in cats. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed; yes Tobrex can be used for 3 days twice daily on both eyes but it is unlikely to resolve the problem. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
