Update 6/30/08:
After one week of using the prescribed antibiotic ointment, Gracie's eye is worse. Although the initial cat scratch is nearly healed, she now has several styes and swollen lids on both eyes now.
Per today's vet visit, we are to:
give Amoxicillan 500mg, 3 times daily
give 4 drops each eye 4 times a day with Ciprofloxiacin
continue using the antibiotic ointment 5 times a day
return next Monday for a re-check.

Poor baby, looks like she's got a black eye.
I think she needs a .
