He's not opening it fully, it does look more watery or anything than the other one, it doesn't look red either. He was fine when I went to bed last night, this is just since I got up this morning. Is there anything I should do?
-
I'd say go to the vet, we had this will Tilly and they put some dye in her eye and apparently there was a scratch which needed antibiotic cream
-
I would suggest vet visit as well, even a microscopic scratch to the eye can be very sore and painful for puss, so worth checking out as this may need some eyedrops as well.
I always err on the side of caution, especially with eyes.

Had him at the vets at 5, of course he made a liar out of me and had the eye wide open!
He had a good look though and couldn't see anything, I'm to bathe it with a quarter teaspoon of salt in a cup of tepid water 3 times a day, keep an eye on it and if it's still the same to bring him back in a couple of days. Thanks you too

Don't you just love it when they make you look like a paranoid meowmy :tired:
Seriously though, glad there's no noticable problems with the eye, maybe just a bit of just or grit in there which has now gone :hug:
-
Glad it turned out to be nothing, even if you did look like a paranoid cat Mum :evillaugh:
-
Never mind dont feel humilated :rofl: :rofl:
-
glad he's ok :)

Lol it wasn't as bad as the saturday morning they were fully booked and Meeko had the limp. I had to nearly fight with the receptionist to get him seen and when I took him there there wasn't a hint of the limp, I was mortified :rofl:
The saltwater seems to be helping whatever it was, it's just about back to normal. I think you're right, Clare, it's just been dirt in there
-
Silvie had a sore eye recently too (a wee infection, conjunctivitis or something probably, antibiotic ointment for 10 days sorted it out no probs) and I was in the vet with her a few times for that and for her regular arthritis check, and a blood test cos she's on Metacam all the time, and I'd been in with the guinea pigs to get their nails trimmed!
The vet asked me if I'd got a season ticket... :P
Don't care what they think of me though - rather see the vet and for them to tell me there's nothing wrong so that I know, than me worrying or the animals suffering! :)
