there is a foreign object (lint?) in my kitten's eye, what do i do?

Question

its just floating around as he blinks....should i wash it out or let it be?

Answer 1

i would call a vet and ask to make sure, but probablywash it out, it mite get infected

Answer 2

If it doesn't seem to be bothering the kitten, leave it alone. Natural tears in the eye will help wash it out on its own. If it is bothering the kitten, a couple gentle drops of saline will help wash it out. Otherwise take it to the vet.

Answer 3

wash it out with plain water - just like you would do to your own eye if there was a bit of dust or lint caught in it. Would ot harm kitty at all.

Answer 4

Don't try to remove anything from your cats eye yourself.
By doing that you could scratch the cats cornea.
I wouldn't rush off to the Vet, but I would give them a call and tell them what you see in the cats eye and get their advice.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Cat's eyes seem to clear themselves most of the time. I would not try to remove it instead just watch and make sure it isn't bothering your cat. If it doesn't clear itself then call the vet.

Answer 6

Put a bit of water into a dropper and gently flush his eye.

Answer 7

Leave it alone. You could make it worse. As long as the kittie isn't acting bothered by it, it will be ok.

Answer 8

Let it be. If it bother your kitten, he will attemp, and succeed, at getting it out himself.
