Answer
Hi Cherrie,

I know how hard it is getting the cream into kitties eyes- we recently had to do the same thing for our kitty. He hated it. You can't stop the treatment, I know how hard it is, but please stick with it. Eye troubles are really serious, especially in kittens.

Give kitty extra attention, and maybe some treats right after you do the eye treatment- something special that she wouldn't usually get, that way she will associate the treadments with something good and won't be as upset.

Good luck, I hope your kitties are all doing well.
