Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male
We found a kitten with swelling around the eye, covering the eye and sticks out about a half inch. WY wife wants to keep him. Is he in danger of losing his eye? We can't afford a vet, what should we do?

No home care options are appropriate here. This kitten needs emergency veterinary care immediately to reduce the pressure around the eye and reduce the pain and swelling he is suffering. HE will most likely needthe eye to be removed in order to prevent ongoing pain, it is highly unlikely any sight can be restored at this stage. Please consider surrendering him to the local humane society to get him the help he so desperately needs.
