Guess the correct diagnosis! Allergies or bacterial infection or other?

Question

I am taking my friend's cat to the vet tomorrow. She's 2 years old and has puffy, watery, red eyes. She is also squinting her eyes a lot. She is not sneezing or coughing, and is otherwise acting normally. She is eating normally too.

What do you think it is? Allergies? A bacterial infection? Or other?

Whoever is right when i get back from the vet tomorrow will get best answer!

Answer 1

My older cat once had ringworm around his eye and it looked like he had an eye infection.  For your sake, and the cat's, I hope it's not ringworm, and something easier to clear up.

Answer 2

Probably allergies.

Good luck!

Answer 3

irritation

Answer 4

It's nearly impossible to know with the little info you give, but my guesses in order of most likely.

Calici virus:  All cats have it, flare ups cause many different symptoms.

Irritant of some sort:  Fertalizer, cleansers, lots of stuff irritate cats.

Infection: Cats produce amazing amounts of pus and get infected quite easily.

Foreign body:  Something stuck in her eye/nose.

Abuse:  Not necessarily your friend, but lots of people are mean.

Answer 5

Any kind of allergic reaction can cause eye redness and puffiness. These two, together with itchy eyes, are usually a symptom of a mild allergic reaction.
