Ok . Part of the confusion is my fault. Although I knew Junior's eye was sore. I did not think the eye was hurting as much as it was until after I had seen the vet. The antibiotic given I am sure is for the URI. Aspirin was mentioned for its anti-inflammatory properties not as a pain killer. I do know from experience with a cat that had a blood clot that the aspirin took away the pain almost immediately. So part of my reasoning is from my past experience with another cat. I will most likely not give anymore at this point. He does not have as much pain as he did. As I said already I need to discuss his condition with his regular vet. I am not very good at pressing for anything. I am a wimp sorry. This vets office has been very helpful in getting all the cats(11 of them tested, and vaccinated giving me a discount almost every time I have been in to see them. They are the ones who said yes to treat Junior and Tiny when Junior's old vet wanted to euthanize him a month ago. So I am happy about that. I turn to you guys for your experience and expertise with this dreaded disease.
I will discuss pain with the vet next time I speak to her. Thanks for all the suggestions. I was a bit depressed over the situation. I love all my kitties.

That's a patch that they shave the cat and stick it on them, lasts for 3-4 days. Very effective pain relief. I'd be very concerned if my vet didn't offer pain meds, and then when pressed offered aspirin, that should be one of the last things for pain, yes, it's good for a blood thinner, but NOT the best choice for pain. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/fentanyl.htm Phaewryn Please save Whitey! http://ucat.us/Whitey.html VT low cost Spay&Neuter, and Emergency Financial Assistance for cat owners: http://ucat.us/VermontLowCost.html Special Needs Cat Resources: http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html
