He needs to be treated first!

As for the steroid in his eyes, I would not do that unless it has been recommended by the vet (which it may have been) because if they have any infection or an eye ulcer, then steroids will make the condition worse!

There are a lot of people on YT who know more about allergies than I do, so I will defer to them on that topic.

Poor baby sounds miserable. I hope you can find answers soon! Good luck.
The steroid eye cream was recommended and prescribed by the vet. I wouldn't put something in his eyes unless a professional approved it. That's why I haven't given him the silver... just makes me nervous. But I am willing to explore all options. I just need him to not be hurting.

I'll get a vet appt this week and see if we can get anywhere. Just wanted to get on YT and see if anyone has some other solutions. I guarantee you the vet will want to put him on antibiotics again, and he's already been on them so many times... poor little guy.
