Bacteria present can be suseptible or resistant to various antibiotics and you need to know which is behind the eye infection. Although there are several broad spectrum antibiotics available, there are also some medications which contain steroids and as such should be used only as a last resort because of the undesirable effect of steroid which renders other safer medication useless later on should there be a reinfection, leaving you with no other safer options and you certainly would not want to make use of your last silver bullet right at the beginning instead of saving it for when all others fail.

For some minor infections, the normal Nicol eyedrops applied 3 times or so a day for 2 weeks will suffice. However for some more serious infections an antibiotic like Terramycin will need to be applied 3 times or so a day for 2 weeks. If there is Clamydia or some other serious infection, complete loss of the eye (or both eyes) is common, like this pretty baby in the pics who was dumped at the roadside, crying, half blind, thin, starving and full of fleas. You can see in the pics that one eye is completely gone and the other is cloudy. Thank God that because she is very young, the cloudiness may clear. Otherwise she will have lost the vision of one eye plus part of the remaining eye.

I really encourage you to take your pet to a good vet (yes, some vets are not good) and get it treated properly instead of risking blindness and losing good time in catching the problem early making it easier to treat.
