My cats eyes water/red when I have the windows open. Is there a shot for alleries instead of Tobramycin 0.3 Ophthalmic

Use to be only in the spring but now it's all summer. Her eyes get red and swollen and water. A shot would be easier than trying to put drops of Tobramycin 0.3 Ophthalmic in her eyes twice a day when they get inflamed.

Allergies are a complicated affair. In pets it can be challenging due to them not being able to tell you when they feel worse, so, the allergen can be identified.
There are allergy shots and I would discuss this with your veterinarian.

Welcome back, TT! I agree with your not wanting to use drops on her. I have had to do this with kitties of mine and I was always terrified I'd poke them in the eye. Has she been diagnosed with an allergy to pollen? As with people, on the days when the pollen is high, perhaps you could keep your windows closed? Air cleaners can also be helpful in managing indoor allergens, as can frequent vaccuming and sometimes even bathing if she also suffers from itchy skin. But the best one to advise you on alternate treatments is definitely her vet.
