Ciclosporin Eye Ointment

[Klove1981]

Hi there, I just wanted to ask if anybody has any experience with this for their Sphynx’s eyes?

My 20 week old kitten has just been prescribed this yesterday as his eye looked a bit sore/slightly squinted and a little swollen.

I ladministered it last night, but this morning his eyes look a little worse. I’m not sure if it’s the meds, or if all the messing around at the vets yesterday with the tear production test and the dye… I just wondered if anyone has any experience with this medication or eye issues please?

Sorry I wanted to attach a photo for reference but it keeps saying the file is too large?

I hope someone has experience with this med and can help. You might see if your vet will let you send them the pics as they might help as well.

Did the vet say why they were prescribing this medication?
My girl is on it as she has scarring from a previous infection and was also diagnosed with feline herpes virus. I was giving it to her twice daily when first prescribed as the regular vet thought she had a small corneal sequestrum and referred her to the ophthalmologist. She was eventually taken off the medication as she was fine but lo and behold we had to resume.
She has very watery eyes with discharge normally and after the meds it’s worse. The alternative to not taking them are worse for her. I have attached a picture so you can see what her eyes look like. Hope that helps (please ignore the food on her face she had just eaten lol)
