Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed

Hello Doctor, I am Shagouffta Naaz from India. My kitten is about 1 month older aur elder, since it's a stray kitten, I've no exact idea about its age. Her left eye is running and some yellowish thing coming from her eye. I've got three drops with me for human, can I use it for them too? 1. TOBASTAR-F 2. CIPLOX-D 3. ITONE EYE DROPS (Ayurvedic proprietary medicine) Is it okay for my kitten?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I wouldn't use human eye medications as cats are very sensitive to medications. If you can find the product in the link below that is a better option twice daily for 7 days. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=9675
