Reviews about Anandin drops for cats
“I bought a British kitten. I studied the characteristics of the breed for a long time and was prepared for the fact that in the first year of its life my pet’s eyes would become watery. At first I treated the kitten with saline solution, but over time I noticed that the eyes began to not only water, but also fester. The veterinary pharmacy advised me to give Anandin. Since the price of the product did not exceed 100 rubles, I decided to try it. After just two treatments, the pus began to go away. After about a week all the problems stopped.”
Konstantin Viktorovich, veterinarian:
“I prescribe Anandin quite often. The drug is inexpensive, so animal owners do not try to dilute it or replace it with something else. However, for rhinitis, I try to choose another remedy, since many of my clients complained of excessive salivation and even vomiting after instilling medicine into the pet’s nose. There are no such problems when treating ears and eyes.”
