Abstract:  This study describes signalment, history, antibiotic administered, clinical signs observed, therapy, and outcome of anaphylactic events within 4 hours following ophthalmic administration of an antibiotic to cats. Data came from survey responses (45 cats) or U.S. Food and Drug Administration adverse drug event reports (16 cats). Although a causal association was not proved, ophthalmic antibiotic administration preceded anaphylaxis in all cats. Like other drugs, ophthalmic antibiotics should be used only when indicated.
