Can oxygen fluoride be used for feline conjunctivitis?

Yes, oxygen fluoride can be used for feline conjunctivitis, but it is recommended to use pet medications rather than human medications. Additionally, conjunctivitis can be treated with pet drops containing lysozyme, which has less irritation and is less likely to cause drug resistance. Feline conjunctivitis requires scientific treatment, and it is not recommended to self-medicate blindly to avoid exacerbating the condition.

Oxygen fluoride can be used for conjunctivitis caused by sensitive bacteria infections in cats, but it is better to use pet medications instead of human ones. The difference between human and pet medications can lead to adverse consequences.

The causes of feline conjunctivitis mainly include primary bacterial infections, foreign body stimulation, and scratching. Generally, conjunctivitis is induced by bacteria brought into the eye due to cat scratching, which causes the eye to become inflamed. Clinical symptoms of feline conjunctivitis mainly include redness, profuse lacrimation, and increased secretions, which are usually yellow-green purulent secretions.

The treatment of feline conjunctivitis is relatively simple. It is recommended to first clean the excess secretions and dirt from the eyes with pet-specific eye washes or drops with washing functions, rather than using oxygen fluoride indiscriminately. Then, apply drops or ointments containing ingredients such as tylosin or lysozyme. It is suggested to use medication 2-3 times daily, cleaning the eyes before each use, and waiting 20 to 30 minutes between each drug. During treatment, it is recommended to fit your cat with an Elizabethan collar to prevent frequent scratching of the eyes due to discomfort, which can lead to infection and exacerbate swelling. The treatment cycle for conjunctivitis usually lasts 3-5 days. If the symptoms do not improve after medication but instead show a further exacerbation, it is recommended to bring your cat to the pet hospital for related checks and treatment.
