Cats can get eye injuries pretty regularly depending on their lifestyle. If your cat lives outdoors and enjoys prowling around the neighborhood then he may come in with a scratch on his eye or an eye irritation more times than a cat living indoors. If your cat has an eye injury you should call your vet right away. You can do a few simple checks at home too. First, note any tearing up or crustiness around the eye. Take a look and see if there’s any cloudiness in the eye or any swelling around the eye. The area around the eyeball should be white and the eyes clear and bright. The pupils should be equal in size. Take a closer look by placing your thumb on your cat’s eye lid and gently rolling it down. The lining of her eye should be pink not red or white. Take note of what you see and notify your veterinarian Fayetteville, NC.
