Question for Sam - again lol!!

Hi Sam, could you advise me? One of the kitties seems to have a 'sticky eye' Sometimes it is open with the other eye and sometimes it is not??? I have been bathing it and there is no discharge. He was the last to open his eyes...the other two kitties opened theirs a couple of days earlier than him and his 'good' eye opened a couple of days before this problem eye.....do I need to see the vet??

Thanks Sam

Sounds to me like sticky eye,and quite a few kittens get it.The verts will just say to keep wiping as theres no discharge it dosnt sound like infection
Try bathing with tea water.Just put a tea bag in some warm water and let it brew for a little while.Remove tea bag and wipe the eye using this solution 2/3 times a day and see how that works.
To be honest i always use a herbal product called Eye Envy which is the bizz.Its all natural and seems to knock any eye infections to,a lot say it like a natural antibiotic.I swear by this stuff now and wont use anything else and over the years i have tried many things.
One draw back is a small bottle will only last 3 months and it must be kept in the fridge,but for £12 i think its well worth it.Can be used on dogs to.

your welcome PK

Thanks Sam, I remember now we used the tea solution on the horse one hot summer when the flies had caused irritation and it worked a treat so I will give it a go!! If that doesn't work I may come back to you over where to get the herbal product...Thank you

I love to help as best as i can,im no expert by a long shot and most things are trial and error from long time experience.
Moli,if Ollie your has a sensitive tum most sachets will go through him.They are just to rich.
The only thing i can think of would be to try a supermeat that is chicken based,we used to use one but off hand cant remember as its agae since i fed a tin.
Otherwise just cooked chicken /fish should be fine.
I know what your going through as i to have one like Ollie and the only thing that seems fine with him is the steamed diet that we now use.
I hope this is of help

Thanks Sam, will try to get the supermeat first, if not then will just opt for the chicken/fish.I would really like them to et the same thing....

shonedek · 24-07-2005, 01:28 PM

i know theres nothing worse then having to do different diets.Its a right pain

Cassie will only eat Whiskas supermeat....chicken or rabbit. Go Cat used to do a supermeat years ago...not sure if you can still get it though....
