Injury to a Cat’s Eye

vets Murrieta, CA

Cats tend to explore and play in some of the closest, tight-knit spaces around. When they squeeze through tight spots they may accidentally injure themselves. If your cat appears to have scratched or injured his eye, please call your vet. Even if it’s a minor injury, you should still call the vet. Eye injuries can go from minor to serious in a short amount of time. When there’s just an eye irritation due to an eyelash or debris in the ear then your cat’s eye may seem irritated or inflamed. Signs that your cat may have scratched her eye include watery eyes, green or yellow eye discharge, squinting, excessive blinking, and an avoidance of bright. Report the eye injury to your vet over the phone and follow the advice given whether it’s flushing the eye or making an appointment at the office. Consult with your vets Murrieta, CA for best treatments.
