"The Chewy pharmacy has it priced lower, but that is well worth it because they also worked with me to get the prescription filled and sent out very quickly."

"My cat only has minor symptoms HPV-1 before using this product. After 1 month of using this eyedrop, my cat did not get any better, and have develop white sticky stuff IN THE EYE."
