I use Terramycin Ophthalmic Ointment for my cat with herpes as some of you may, apparently this will no longer be OTC after June 11th.

It has already been that way in California, but I was still able to buy tubes of Terramycin on Amazon.

I should probably buy one or two more to have on hand after this. I used them on stray kittens with URI while waiting for their vet appointment, which takes a while to get an appointment these days.

I bought a couple extra on Amazon myself, but that was awhile ago. Hope they still have some it is so convenient to just buy it online instead of paying for a vet visit. Someone said they are also restricting fish antibiotics too. Leave it up to our government to make getting needed, simple pet supplies a hassle and expensive.

I just bought some Amoxicillin from Chewy, so it hasn't been restricted. It's going to be hard to restrict fish antibiotics, because no one takes their fish to the vet to be diagnosed with any problems.
