Chlorophenicol making cats eye worse??

Post by Daisycat1976 »

My male rescue cat Brian got his eye scratched by neighbours cat about a week ago. I had been using hydrochlorus as a rinse as said safe for cats eyes until I saw the vet as was a bank holiday. Vet said scratch on eye and ulcer that was starting to heal. Eyelids were OK but eyeball a bit cloudy and pupil enlarged. Chlorophenicol was prescribed 4 times a day and every since eye has got worse, lots of pus and third eyelids swollen. I feel chlorophenicol is making it worse is that possible? I emailed my vet yesterday with my concerns. She said should be OK to continue drops. We have another appointment with vet on Tuesday. Wondering if I should stop chlorophenicol drops?
