Can kittens as young as 2 wks old be given Terramycin eye ointment for eye infections? Their momma has eye infections and we're treating her with this but need to know if it's safe at this age for the kittens to be treated as well? 😍

Is it possible for cats to develop idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? X-rays of my cats show scaring in lower lung cavity. They were exposed to years of toxic air pollution in northern Thailand where AQI is between 200-300 for part of the year. I was diagnosed with IPF myself.
