Feral cat has eye/nose discharge. Can I buy meds online without a vet?

Question

There is a feral cat that I have been caring for for years. But I noticed recently that she has mucus discharge from the eyes and nose. Is there an eye drop or antibiotic I can buy online? She cannot be transported to the vet and will not let us clean her face.

Unfortunately, you would need confirmation of the infection from a vet, as well as a prescription from them for the antibiotic. Both respiratory and viral infections can cause problems like this. If she can't be transported to the vet, you may see if you can humanely trap her and have the vet sedate her for care while there, or if there is a local animal control/society that can help catch her to provide care.
