Title: Eye Problem
Post by: Mymblesdaughter on April 07, 2012, 19:38:44 PM

Hi

Xander came into the lounge today and had his eye partly closed, he likes sleeping under the bed so I presumed it was probably just some dust. Anyway he still seems to be like it and has been rubbing his eye this evening. I've bathed it with some warm water. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to help him? I'm hoping it is just dust and gets better before tomorrow. It's typical that it's happened over the bank holiday.

Can only suggest to keep batheing it with cooled boiled water. Hope it's better by tomorrow - cats must have 'Bank Holiday' clocks built in!  :hug:

Thanks Tiggy's Mum, I cleaned his eye last night and it's much better today. Thank goodness. I think I'm a bit of an over anxious Mum.

Very pleased to hear this  :)

With regards being an over anxious Mum I've started asking myself 'If this was a child would I rush them to A&E or make a docs appt if it doesn't clear up in a few days. It's saved me quite a few emergency vet visits!
