Answer: Don’t use drops or ointment unless your veterinary surgeon has advised it. Certain
preparations can be quite unsuitable for a particular purpose.
For instance, many preparations contain corticosteroids which, if applied to an eye
ulcer, will prevent it from healing. Remember too that some proprietary preparations sold
for human use are unsuitable for conditions affecting the cat’s eye. It is far preferable
to seek early advice from your vet about any eye problem.
