My cat has a viral eye infection, she has seen a vet twice. The eye cleared up when she was pregnant, however since giving birth her eye has flared up again. We have recently moved house so quite abit if stress, her eye has now flared up again but looks sore. It leaks dark red liquid and the skin under her eye looks sore. I've had her the vet he insists its viral and will clear. Its been nad not for 12 weeks is there anything I can order to make it better?

A prescription opthalmic antibiotic drop such as tobramycin or opthalmic antibiotic ointment such as terramycin along with daily lysine supplements to help boost a cat’s immune system will likely help. Good luck!
