My pet is sick, not eating, and has sunken, torn eyes. Is it an an emergency?

Question

Hello, since 2 days ago my little one, Tommy, has been really sick. He had not been moving at all. Theres no intake of food or drink unless fed. He couldnt even chew chewy bites pet food thingy. Im starting to panic because he has finally started opening his eyes and i could see the right side looks like it has been swallowed in from the inside while the left looked like it had been scratched and the outer surface of the eye has torn. He could barely shift an inch. Please help me please. Pet's info: Cat | Japanese Bobtail | Male | neutered | 10 years and 5 months old

I am so sorry that Tommy is sick. When animals are severely dehydrated their eyes recess deep into their sockets and can appear “swallowed up from the inside”. You may also be seeing the elevated third eyelid flap over the other eye. It sounds like Tommy is in critical condition if he is that dehydrated He needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian immediately as it can be fatal. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.
