They give out chloramphenicol drops to humans more often than they use

chloramphenicol won't do anything except lubricate the eye a bit.

I didn't know that cats got infected with herpes virus. Is it a human
strain we are talking about or a cat strain (hahah, excuse my
ignorance, I only know about human diseases).

I know all about trying to put eye medication on cats! It's fun isn't
it? Especially that part where they squirm and claw your face off...

I've only had to give pills or liquid medicines. That was plenty hard
since the cat didn't like me to begin with. Give me a wet, squirming fish
any day.

Did your vet tell you about oral lysine for cats with herpes virus? It
helped one of my friend's cats. Here's one article about it.
