My cat's eye doesn't always fully open and there's goo coming out of it everyday. Shoud I take her to the vet?

Question

We have two cats (they're about seven months old), is her brother going to get it too if it's bad? They never go outside or see other cats.

Answer 1

Absolutely, probably has some sort of infection.

Answer 2

I would guess that maybe the other may have kitty accidently scratched him in the eye, or there is a chance the kitty may have pink eye or an infection.

I have 2 cats and one had an eye like this. I went to the vet and he had me put the over an counter drug store antibiotic ointment(not drops) on her eye 2 or 3 times a day. It cleared up within a week.

I would call and ask my Vet first though!

Answer 3

You have to get some warm water with a something soft and clean the kittens eye out. Don't over do it but be gentle and clean over the eye lid to get all that goo out.
If it doesn't get better over a couple of days then take it to the vet!
Hope it works.

Answer 4

Yes.... take her to the vet to have the eye checked. Sometimes, weepy eyes in cats is a sign of upper respiratory infection and if that is the case, the other cat may get it too if it hasn't already.

Answer 5

You can wipe/rinse it out with saline- (you can get sensitive eye contacts saline from any drug store). Use a soft clean cloth. Do this 2-3 times a day. This usually clears it up in a week or so.
Do your cats have their shots? Make sure they at least get the minimum.

Answer 6

It looks like a glancing harm on your kitty's orbit or eyeball. this happens to my cat now and returned because of the fact I also have a median one that frequently strikes out on the others. i attempt to maintain them separated and it style of feels to artwork diverse the time yet you may't supply up all injuries. it would additionally be from a watch an infection. the 1st factor you desire to aim to do is, with out touching it, attempt to ensure if the eyeball itself is unbroken. you will attempt to attend till your cat is laying down and purely call out to them and whilst he turns to you attempt to word how lighting fixtures performs off the attention. If there is intense exudate or drainage from the attention it incredibly is incredibly useful to take him to the vet to rule out trauma. or you will desire to attend till the attention clears somewhat to grant you a extra constructive view. wanting that, in case you have self assurance that it incredibly is an infection, go on your community herbalist and ask them to advise a style of colloidal silver which you will administer without postpone into the attention,(as quickly as you have shown that the attention is unbroken and not broken) It won't injury kitty. I even have 4 cats and use herbs and silver to heal them and that they are super. I also have a Phd herbalist to advise dosage differences as they are lots littler than human beings. So be clever and reliable success to you and your infant!

Answer 7

I think you should go to the vet but if you cannot afford it and you have some children antibiotic you can give him half of a tea spoon of it, but rinse his eye with a lot of water everyday so it gets clean.

Answer 8

yes, you should take her to the vet.

Squinting is a sign of pain. And discharge could mean infection. She may have had her eye scratched when they were playing...you have to check to make sure her cornea isn't scratched.

The doctor will probably give you antibiotic ointment for treatment.

Answer 9

Absolutely take her to the vet. At my hospital, we consider eye issues emergencies. She probably has conjunctivitis which is often associated with upper respiratory infection and requires antibiotics. Hope this helps! :o)

Answer 10

Answer 11

Yes, think of how bad you would feel if you had an eye infection, you don't want your cat to suffer!
