My cat has a pink eye infection for months. What can I do to help?

Question

My cat seems to have a pink eye infection which he has been dealing with for several months. It didn't start getting really noticeable until a couple weeks ago when it started to get red and irritating looking. I feel bad and just want to know what I should do for this, I bought terramycin for cats and placed it around his eye twice a day for a week but it didn't really care it completely. It does help a bit, but it's still irritating him some. Please help. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 4 months old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. I highly recommend that you have Shelby evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
