Possible Side EffectsTerramycin is typically safe and serious side effects should not be expected, but some stinging can occur.

Talk to your veterinarian about any other side effects that seem unusual or bothersome to your pet.
Drug & Food InteractionsBefore using Terramycin, tell your veterinarian if your pet is using other eye medications, as they could interact with Terramycin. Talk to your veterinarian or pharmacist before giving any additional prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Precautions
WARNING: Serious, life threatening, hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported in some cats following application of antibiotic ophthalmic preparations. If your cat has swelling of the face, itching, appears weak, vomits, or has difficulty breathing within 4 hours of application you should discontinue treatment and contact your veterinarian immediately. Note: The use of oxytetracycline and other antibiotics may result in an overgrowth of resistant organisms such as Monilia, staphylococci, and other species of bacteria. If new infections due to nonsensitive bacteria or fungi appear during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken.

Awesome product!
By Christina on Feb 24, 2021
For an eye ointment that does not require a perscription, this is an awesome product. It cures most simple eye infections and eye corner sores from tear drainage. We have two boxers and always try to have it on hand for minor little cuts. It is a VERY tiny tube if you are concerned about the price, but in our opinion it is worth it.

Excellent for eyes
By Kaysee on Feb 23, 2021
My senior cat seems to get a lot of eye infections and I was getting this from the vet but taking him to the vet every time for this same product gets expensive . So I was so happy to find this at chewy. It’s exactly the same product I got from the vet works fantastic his eyes improved the second day after using it. Thank you chewy for having this product..

The jury is still out
By sylvie on Feb 24, 2021
My vet recommended this product to help reduce the tearing in my cat's eye. It seems to irritate more than help. I'm not sure if I want to continue this or go back to strictly using a saline solution. As this is a medication, I can't recommend this product. A vet's evaluation is needed.

Keeping On hand
By Lovebugs on Jan 18, 2021
We haven’t used this product yet, but it was recommended by a nonprofit shelter when we began to foster (now adopted) two kittens. One of the kitten’s eyes were crusted closed at about two and a half weeks, so we ordered the ointment. But, luckily with warm compresses I was able to dislodge the crust and goo (now it seems that it was milk that got in the eye) and not an infection. This product came in record time and from the pharmacy division of the company. Customer service was very helpful and caring to this human who was nervous and unsure of how to help the newly born kittens at a critical age. Chewy is awesome!

eye ointment for infection
By obxstargazer on Jan 31, 2021
I purchased this for Biggie the cat who had a stroke in December. He seemed to have an eye infection too, but unfortunately he passed away before I was able to use it. The ingredients I imagine would have helped his eyes. I have 2 other cats left and will keep it in case I need it for them at some point.

Great for bacterial infection
By SatisfiedScooper on Jan 9, 2021
I adopted a kitten who had such a severe eye infection that his eye was swollen beyond the socket. I genuinely thought he had a worm in his eye. Now he was on this product as well as an oral antibiotic, but his eye returned to the size of his socket—still no vision, but no longer painful. It is easy to administer. I put a small dab on my finger and apply directly to the eye. Ensure your hands are clean obviously.

Go-To Eye Medication
By Anonymous on Dec 31, 2020
Terramycin is my go-to triple antibiotic ointment whenever my cat(s) come down with an eye infection - most often, conjunctivitis, which is a bacterial infection. Applied once or twice a day for a week clears it all up. This tends to occur with allergies, which then turn into upper-respiratory infections. I like keeping a tube on hand regardless, so that when bacterial eye infections pop up, I can treat my furbaby's eyes immediately. I highly recommend this medicine.

Persian cat with weepy eyes
By PearlsMama on Feb 23, 2021
My flat faced Persian had terribly goopy/weepy eyes that left her fur stained orange. I added this in with our daily eye envy cleaning and she’s much improved! No more goopy eye boogies!

Literally worked within one day
By Hannah on Dec 16, 2020
I ordered this product for my three month old kitten after realizing he had some form of pink eye. I saw on Youtube that this product is pretty much a fix all for most cat eye problems. It arrived after a couple of days and I immediately administered it to my cat. I did this three more times that day and the next morning my kitten was no longer oozing out of his eyes and his puffiness subsided. I will be keeping this on hand from now on.

Great Product
By Lulu on Nov 30, 2020
I purchased this product as a preventative, and it worked! My cat was scratched near her eye from a cat fight, and while I was keeping it clean with saltwater and put a cone on her I was still worried about infection. I used a very, very small amount (little dab on a qtip) and her eye cleared right up. Now it’s healed and she’s all better. I did follow up with salt water a few more times after, but not as much. Please read the packaging as this seems like a very strong product and should be used as such. Note: The cat that scratched her is a foster that’s had its shots & tests done. If it were a feral I’d recommend further screenings for outside infections.
