Hi everyone,
I have a quick question: can you use saline solution for a cat's eyes? I think so, but I'd rather check just in case.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Well, it depends why??
That’s the big question???
Yes, absolutely, you can use saline solution without any problems.
Out of interest though, why do you want to use it?
If it’s just for a bit of "eye gunk" in the corner of the eye, then yes, that’s fine. But if it’s for something like conjunctivitis, you really need to see the vet.
You can get a cat-specific eyewash called Ocryl from your vet; it’s more antiseptic than the saline solution we use. It’s great for regularly cleaning away any gunk from the corners of your cat’s eyes, but it definitely won’t treat a proper issue like conjunctivitis.
Hmm, I’m not too sure about that; your best bet is to give a vet a call and ask for their advice (it doesn’t cost a penny and at least you won’t end up doing anything wrong ^^)
Why are you wanting to use saline solution on your cat?
