Works like a charm!
I ordered this to clear up a case of conjunctivitis that our recently adopted 7-month-old kitten had. My wife applied it to the kitten in the evening, and we started seeing results the next morning. We applied the ointment twice a day, for 10 days. It's been almost 2 weeks since the last application, and our kitten is fine.

Helpful eye ointment
From UndisclosedComments about Terramycin (oxytetracycline) Eye Ointment 1/8oz TubeThis eye ointment is great. I have had several cats over the years & only realized that this can be purchased without a prescription recently. I had one cat who would get frequent eye infections & the vet prescribed this med regularly. Of course, I always had to go to the vet & pay for a visit as well as the med. I wish I had known that I could order it because that would've definitely saved money. This ointment has been effective in treating any eye infection that my cats have gotten over the years. -

Very effective for minor eye issues
From UndisclosedComments about Terramycin (oxytetracycline) Eye OintmentWanted to use this ointment to treat a feral kitten but it disappeared and we didn't have a chance to use it. However, we have purchased this before, and it has been quite effective in clearing up minor eye issues. You just need to apply a tiny amount, so the small tube goes a long way. -

It goes in the eye. Many times if you have a difficult patient getting some on is challenging enough but you need it I to help your pet. I hold the eye open with one hand as apply with my other. Again difficult patients sometimes requires 4 hands 😉
