Hello, I noticed that my cats eye has been injured. He won't open it for very long. When he does open it his eye is "looking to the upper right" it is his right eye. You see more white than blue eye. The vet is closed today, so I can't take him in until tomorrow. But I'm very worried about my boy. Thanks Kari. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

If there is an emergency vet within a reasonable distance, I would recommend that Willie get checked out sooner than later. Eye problems can be very painful, and can go from bad to worse very quickly (even overnight). There can be many causes of squinting an eye, including something stuck under the eyelid, corneal abrasion or ulcer, autoimmune disease, among a few others. Without personally seeing it I can't be certain, but what you may be seeing with him "looking to the upper right" is the effect of a raised third eyelid covering the inner part of the eye to make it look weird. You can try to flush the eye with a saline eye rinse, but do not apply any medications topically. Keep him inside in a dim room since bright light makes many eye problems more painful.

Poor guy. You can try purchasing an eye irrigation solution (saline) from your local pharmacy over the counter. Flush the eye with this gently and see if that works. If not, then he likely has an ingrown hair that is rubbing on the surface of the eye, which will need to be removed by your veterinarian. I do hope that you are able to resolve Lowkey's eye issue soon! Best wishes and take care.

He will likely need more medication, so it's best to take him back to the vet. I would be more suspicious of an infection in the cornea (outside of eye) or inside the eye with a reoccurring problem like this. No need to take him to the emergency vet though. It can wait until normal business hours. I hope that helps and Rascel gets better soon.
