Eye Infection? Calici? Feline rhinotracheitis?

Hello All,

Taking one of my fur babies (hyperthryoid) to vet tomorrow because he is squinting and has heavy discharge out of that eye. My question is that this occurred a couple of days after his annual vaccine and vet exam, which seems awfully coincidental. Can an FVRCP vaccine cause a secondary feline rhinotracheitis or calicivirus like this? I also considered he cought have caught something at the office from another cat. I have 4 other fur babies, none of whom have ever had eye symptoms.

Thank you!

i don't know about something like that happening from the vaccines as i don't vaccinate but it's always possible they picked something up when at the clinic, just as humans do from hospitals sometimes. also though, is it possible that he got scratched by one of the other cats or possibly got something in his eye? no matter what, obviously, it's good you're taking him in
 
Vet said kitty has infected tooth, which has caused the eye to be irritated. Put kitty on Clindacure, 2x daily. Problem: Vet says wants to knock out infection with doseage 2x daily (dental extraction next week), but doseage on box is for 1x daily. Vet assures me this is acceptable. Thoughts?

True for the one referencing the package insert for Antirobe but the studies of Jenkins, Trepanier, Greene and Watson, and Vaden and Papich says oral BID but at different dose.

Plumbs Veterinary Drug Manual says for dental infections once a day.

We use ClindaCure (oral clindamycin) at the shelter that I work at (part-time as a vet assistant, so I medicate the animals a lot; we have 2 full-time vets on staff), and it's commonly given BID (twice daily) for dental infections and infected external wounds (bite wounds, etc.).
