I would like to have our cat's eyes diagnosed. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 15 years and 11 months old | 8 lbs

It looks like a possible eye infection, but it is impossible to diagnose an eye problem based on a picture alone, you will have to take Snowy to your vet ASAP in order to get the eyes checked and treated.

My Cat's Eyes Look Red & Watery. Does She Need a Vet Diagnosis?

My cat had one eye swollen and closed the other night. But yesterday morning when i saw her again, it became worse. It has opened a little bit but a yellow fluid is coming out from her eye. What could it be? Do my cat need to undergo surgery? What ca

This appears to be a potentially severe eye infection. You would need to have Snow physically examined by your veterinarian for confirmation and treatment. Once the eye is cleaned up and examined, the best course of treatment can be determined. If the eye is not functional or salvageable or if it is causing discomfort, then surgery may be indicated. Have her seen sooner rather than later to prevent unnecessary pain and potentially permanent damage to the eye.

My cat is having diarrhea and seems like she is not properly eating as the food bowl is almost mostly full. She also has eye boogers. Please see the pictures for reference

I recommend taking Snowy to a veterinarian. I would bring a stool sample to check for intestinal parasites. She could have also gotten into something to give her diarrhea. It also looks like she may have an eye infection. Your veterinarian will most likely stain the eyes to make sure there is not scratch or ulcer and dispense medication for her eyes.

Hi. Please help me. I am so worried about my cat. She have pink eye. I dont know what to do.

I am so sorry to hear that Snow is experiencing these problems with her eye. Start by placing an e-collar or cone on Snow to prevent scratching or rubbing. If the eye is infected it is likely painful, this will prompt Snow to scratch or rub her eye. However, this could inflict further damage, infection or even an ulceration. Because eye concerns with cats, such as infections, corneal ulcerations, cataracts and glaucoma, can progress rapidly in I would have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the issue. The precise medication can then be dispensed by your veterinarian. Please do not attempt to treat an eye infection at home with any over the counter medications, drops or ointments. This can lead to permanent damage and unnecessary pain or discomfort. I hope this answer was helpful and that Snow feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both!

My other cats eye seems all swollen and puffy, it's watering alot and she's sneezing and her meow sounds shakey. Could this be allergies, or a cold? Should I call the vet?

In that picture, I can't tell if there is anything wrong with the eye. Puffy, red, watery eyes with nasal discharge in a cat is usually an indication of an upper respiratory infection. This could only be verified with a physical exam from a vet who would be able to rule out something else, like a primary ocular issue +/- allergies. If an upper respiratory infection is the culprit, antibiotics, eye medication, and immunoboosters usually do the trick with 7-10 days of treatment. Best of luck to you and Letty!

My cat is sneezing and her eye won’t stop watering and being gooey, and is red and swollen

It looks like Kitty might have an upper respiratory infection causing conjunctivitis. A viral infection is most common, although secondary bacterial infections can also occur. A scratch on the surface of the eye could also cause redness and discharge but would not cause sneezing. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian for an exam. They can check for a scratch on the cornea or prescribe medications to treat a respiratory infection.

This is probably an eye infection, it's very common in cats and the kittens usually get that from their mother. unfortunately it requires antibiotic eye drops which you can only get from the vet, you will need to make an apointment with your vet in order to solve this issue.

It sounds like Sascha has an eye infection. You will need to take her into the vet first thing in the morning. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I hope this helps!

It is possible that Aspen has a scratch on the surface of her eye, or corneal abrasion. Squinty, watery eyes can also be a sign of a viral or bacterial upper respiratory infection. I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian- they might recommend a corneal stain which is a test where some dye is put into the eye to highlight a scratch. Corneal abrasions can become infected and usually antibiotic drops or ointments are prescribed as treatment.

My cats eye is watering and it looks very slightly red. Should I be concerned or take him to the vet?

I would call your veterinarian in the morning and make an appointment. I don't recommend just monitoring when it comes to eyes. Your veterinarian will be able to determine if this is viral, bacterial, allergies or a scratch. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

My cat's right eye has been having problems for a while now but lately it's been becoming worse. His sclera is red, and he's been having a lot of discharge. He's also been producing a lot of tears and squinting. He doesn't seem to be in pain but I'm

That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
