My dog broke a tooth off, so before going to the vet, I heated a tea bag and placed it over the tooth. She appreciated the pain relief so much, she would bring me the tea bag to heat up again, AND she would hold it over her broken tooth until it was cold, then we'd start over. I tried it on a tooth ache, and it really does help. I find Jasmine is better for pain relief, black and green teas are better for infections. Give it a try!

Boil the water and add boric acid making sure it mixes well. Let it cool, then clean their eyes with the mixture 3 to 4 times a day using a cotton ball. If you have a dropper this is better - a few drops, than wipe the eye or eyes never using same cotton ball. One-forth teaspoon of boric acid found in drug stores and 32 oz of water.

What I find works 99% of the time is: YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING *KETTLE WATER *Cup or bowl *Black tea *Pinch of salt *Some tissues or toilet paper Boil the kettle and let it cool until its warm. Always use kettle water so it kills any bugs from in the water. Put the water in the bowl or cup, add the tea bag and the pinch of salt. Stir well. Get the tissue and put half of the tissue in (it does not need to be dripping wet). Put 1 drop over the kittens eye (shut 1 or both) and let sit for a little so it softens. Then wipe as much as you can. repeat daily until symptoms are gone First, it’s called a cold, this happens when a cat gets sick, and the eyes crust up and they can’t open them – but it may not get this bad.
