Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 20 days old | 6.8 lbs
Hi, my cat has been closing her left eye a lot today and is uncharacteristically quiet and sleepy. I think she may have gotten bitten on the eye by a huntsman spider as I saw her playing with one. She ate dinner fine though.

This sign is compatible with discomfort and possibly a corneal lesion. An immediate check up is needed to confirm this clinical suspicion and have her treated as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
