My cats eye is swollen, please help !?

Question

This morning I noticed that the corner of my cats eye was kind of swollen but more stretched.. It seems like the corner piece of her eye is stretching in towards her pupil. I dont know if this is normal or not ? Someone please help !

Answer 1

Eye problems can go bad fast! I would take her to a vet today.

Sounds like it may be her third eyelid that is swollen - this can result do to things such as stress/trauma or infection.  Usually this is self-limiting and will resolve on its own - called Horner's Syndrome. The eye also will look droopy on that side and the pupil will be small.

I would still take her to the vet.

Answer 2

i agree, get to the vet to be sure

Answer 5

Vet vet vet!!!

Why do pet owners always come on here when there is clearly something wrong with their pet???

Don't have a pet if you can't afford the vet's fee's.

Answer 6

this happened to one of my cats a while back but it got a bit weepy and crusty, if that happens rub a bit of cold tea on it to removes the crustiness and helps with the swelling

hope this helps

Answer 8

one of my old cats eyes swelled up and were pink around the edges, she had to go to the vet and get pills and also cream that has to put directly across her eye from corner to corner. turned out she had a herpes flare. 99% of cats have feline herpes but not all of them actually have problems with it, she did, do to stress and some other things, when it happened again i had to do more cream and more pills...... and then... about 7 months later, she died, actually from leukemia, even though she had been vaccinated for it somehow, she still had it and she was only 3 years old. so my advice is get your cat to the vet NOW. it could be blindness but it could be something else. you won't know unless you get your cat to a doctor.

Answer 9
