help with Lucy's eye problem

[inch]

I have been to the vet with Lucy she has one watery eye. They used a glowing stuff to look at the eye and found nothing. The watery discharge is clear, no redness. she is eating and playing with no problems. She is a house cat. They gave us a ointment I have been useing it for 3 days with no improvement. Any suggestions. She doesn't rub it and seems fine. thankyou

Depending on the ointment prescribed, I would continue it for another couple days yet. For example, if Terramycin or BacNeoPoly. However, if the ointment contains a cortizone/antiinflammatory, call your vet back and tell him you are concerned that you are not seeing improvement, he may need to re-examine the eye and investigate further.

Sometimes foreign bodies are the problem, or a scratch that may not have been detected upon exam. If a foreign body, it could be loosening at this point and may heal on it's own, but after a few days on an opthalmic ointment and you see no improvement, it's time to consult your vet again.

also it just might be good to have the nasal lacrymal duct blown out, ie not really blown out but flushed...simple, safe proceedure...
