Pet Eye Antibiotic Ointment, 3.5 g Dual-Active Formula for Veterinary-Directed Bacterial Eye Infection Care
When your pet needs veterinarian-guided care for a bacterial eye infection, this 3.5 g ophthalmic ointment delivers two active antibiotics directly to the affected eye area.
Oxytetracycline and polymyxin B provide complementary antibacterial action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The petrolatum base keeps the medicine in contact with the eye longer, supporting consistent treatment through your pet's prescribed routine.
Apply the ointment two to four times daily according to the prescribed schedule. This medicine is for animals only, and cats require close monitoring for signs of a serious hypersensitivity reaction.
Key Features
- Two antibiotic actives address a broad range of bacterial eye infections, giving pet parents a focused option for veterinarian-guided eye care.
- Polymyxin B targets gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, extending protection to a difficult cause of eye infection.
- Oxytetracycline and polymyxin B work together for stronger antibacterial action than either ingredient alone, supporting the prescribed infection-control plan.
- The petrolatum base keeps the medicine on the eye longer, allowing extended contact between applications.
- Topical application places the ointment directly on the affected eye area, making the prescribed two-to-four-times-daily routine straightforward to follow.
- Animal-only labeling provides a clear household safety boundary and prevents accidental human use.
