Thats the thing with abs, best not really to self prescribe as there are so many different types....You could end up your cat still having the original problem plus a nasty tummy upset!  ;) :hug:

Well, two nights ago Sage was sick three times, she's also been sneezing a little so organised a vet visit for this morning. Typically, her eyes looked fine today and she wasn't sick yesterday or sneezing but I took her to be on the safe side. The vet said she's fine.  :)

No colouring, BM. Presumably Madams allergies are giving her grief then. Poor girl, and she hates her eye drops.....

I wouldn't give antibiotics ever, except under veterinary advice, JS, and even if she has a little virus they'll be no use anyway...

Is there any colour to the runny eye and sneezy deposit? If its all clear then I would not give them as there is no infection!  ;)

I would contact the vets before giving any antibiotics and keep a good eye on her just incase. Maybe just the allergies playing up  :)

Our little scaredy cat is a bit sneezy and her eyes are a slightly runny. The thing is, she's been diagnosed with allergies so it could be that. Should I give her antibiotics as a precaution or just keep a watch out?

Other than these two things, she isn't acting any differently.
