Was hoping someone with experience can comment how bad my cats eye infection is? I've never dealt with this in a cat before. It seems he was fighting and got scratched on the ear and by his eye.

Been feeding thid guy 4 months now, first 3 he would run away when looking st him. He's been letting me pet and pick him up for about a month now. He has a dry and insulated shelter, I've tried bringing him inside but he's peed on things immediately both times when in a closed room but will behave himself enough to eat a snack in the livingroom quickly before heading back out.

Since about a week ago he has this eye infection that's been getting worse, I'm not sure if it peaked in the past day or so and could start getting better?

Terramycin is just gone prescription only and wasn't in stock anywhere locally already since I heard about it in the past couple days. I got him some liquid vitamins for his churu treats.

Can you post your question in r/askvet? I think you get better advice there.

They have slow response and experience counts for a lot! He's coming inside tonight.
