My Cat Gave Me Pink Eye

Isabella and I share everything! Pink eye is also called conjunctivitis. In its bacterial form it is contagious to people. A simple eye ointment from the vet will take care of it right away.

Does clavamox take care of pink eye in cats?

@attemptingtobehumble It may help but I think the best thing to do is use antibiotic ointment or drops directly in the eye. Oral clavamox is more than you need for a localized eye infection.

Is the cat all good?

@MW2SNIPERIcampI She is just fine! Thanks for asking.

hahaha! Ever since that one scene in the movie (I think it was Knocked Up) my boyfriend has been freaking out about our cats walking around on our pillows (though they are toilet trained and don't touch poo or have infections... but this is good to know now that he may not be completely silly :)

I know that is such a funny scene! Lot's of people think you get styes and eye infections from poop, which has e coli. Actually, infections and styes more often come from Staph, which lives in all of our nasal passages. It's more likely that Isabelle's runny eyes and nose infected me. She did sneeze on me. Tell your boyfriend not to freak out too much. He is being a little silly. :)

it is right. My eyes get infection when my face is next to my infective cat.

Thanks for the advice! My cat has an eye infection too.

Don't rub faces with him! @foxyroxy2005

Diseases in 99% of cases cannot be transmitted from human to animal. (there are some obvious exceptions to this rule).. Pink eye is caused by a bacteria.. and in some cases has been to jump over..esepecially of you were applying the medicine to the kitten...
