Here's why you should speak to a veterinarian:
* Proper diagnosis: A vet can accurately diagnose the cause of your cat's conjunctivitis. There are various types of conjunctivitis, and the treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
* Drug selection: Choosing the right medication, dosage, and frequency is essential. Tobramycin and gentamicin are both antibiotics, but their effectiveness can vary depending on the specific bacteria causing the infection.
* Potential side effects: Both medications can have side effects, and a vet can assess your cat's individual needs and risks.
* Alternative treatments: Depending on the cause, other treatments, such as eye drops or ointments, may be necessary.
Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss your cat's conjunctivitis and receive appropriate treatment recommendations.
