Okay, so let’s talk about that Neo Poly Dex stuff for cats. My cat, Whiskers, had this nasty eye thing going on a while back. One eye was all red, kinda swollen, and he kept squinting. Looked really uncomfortable, you know?
Getting Started
First thing, I took him to the vet. Always the first step, seriously. Can’t mess around with eyes. The vet checked him out, did the whole routine, and prescribed these Neo Poly Dex eye drops. Said it had antibiotics and something for the inflammation.
So, I got the little bottle. Looked straightforward enough. But if you’ve ever tried putting drops in a cat’s eye, you know it’s… an adventure.
The Process – Or Should I Say, The Struggle?
Here’s how it usually went down:
- Step 1: The Catch. Finding Whiskers when he knew the drops were coming. He suddenly became a master of stealth.
- Step 2: The Hold. This was key. I learned to gently wrap him in a towel, like a little burrito. Kept his paws tucked in so I didn’t get shredded. Some folks call it a ‘purrito’. It kinda works.
- Step 3: The Application. Holding him steady with one arm, I’d use my free hand to gently tilt his head back and pull down the lower eyelid just a tiny bit. Gotta be quick here. Aim the dropper above the eye (never touch the eye itself!) and squeeze out the prescribed number of drops.
- Step 4: The Aftermath. He’d blink like crazy, shake his head, and sometimes give me the stink eye for the rest of the evening. Can’t blame him, really.
Observations and Results
I had to do this twice a day, just like the vet said. It wasn’t fun for either of us, gotta be honest. Holding a squirming cat while trying to aim eye drops is tricky business.
But, the important part: After a few days, I started seeing a real difference. The redness went down quite a bit. He stopped squinting so much. By the end of the course, which was about a week or maybe 10 days, I forget exactly, his eye looked pretty much back to normal.
I didn’t notice any weird side effects, personally. He was maybe a bit grumpy after the drop sessions, but otherwise acting fine – eating, playing, napping like usual.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, that was my experience with Neo Poly Dex for Whiskers. It did the job for his eye issue. The hardest part was definitely getting the drops in the cat. Patience and a good towel-wrapping technique were essential. And again, this all started with a vet visit. Wouldn’t have used it otherwise. Just sharing how it went for us.
