OTC eye wash for cats
Occassionally my furbabies get dust - dirt in their eyes from crawling where they do not belong. Is there a good OTC eye wash that anyone can reccommend to flush the dust - dirt out of their eyes?? Something like "Visine for cats"?? Before someone says something I do not literally mean "Visine for cats" but was using that as an illustration. And as for taking to vet there is no injury or such to eye. They just get dust - dirt in the eyes sometimes. -- ************************************************** *** E-mail address altered to foil spam.

Just gently wipe the dirt out of the corner of their eyes with a warm, damp
washcloth "The Polish-Kraut" wrote in message m... Occassionally my furbabies get dust - dirt in their eyes from crawling where they do not belong.

Any human eye wash will work- just the plain saline though, no Visine, or other "eye drops". Just plain saline eye wash. I need to emphasize that- just plain saline eye wash. The other products are very toxic when ingested and a cat will definitely wash his face (and lick his paws) after you do it. -- Toni http://www.cearbhaill.com/kitties.htm |

Appreciate it. If they get in attic it is kind of dusty and dirty up there. Or under bed with dust bunnies. Thanks again. My furbabies http://members.aol.com/larrystark/ |

MLB Does it make a difference how they got there before I get an answer ?!?! I think it does. There could be things that could hurt them in there. And of course, the obvious solution is to keep them out of the attic. |

Reply to news groups for all to see please. ************************************************** *** Hi, I'm sure plain (tepid) water would be appropriate just to remove dust. After that, I'm sure their own eye fluid would finish the job. Always re-examine the eyes after a few hours, as gritty dust could scratch the eye, leading to ulceration ... leading to loss of eye. Extra options include: sealing off the loft so kitties can't get access. : cleaning your dusty lost to make a safer play area. Spider |
