My cat fell, eyes red and wet. What to do until the vet opens?

Question

Hi. My cat fell down from fifth floor. There is no injury about bones or something else except her eyes. Her eyes wet and edges are little bit red. I dont know what to do. Please help. There is no vet at this time because it is midnight. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 8 lbs

I would continue to monitor Victoria for other wounds or possible internal injuries. 5 stories is quite a fall! And it may take a few days for other injuries to manifest. If she will let you, you can flush her eyes with a human eye saline solution. Maybe she got some dirt in her eyes. As soon as the vet is open, I would have her examined further. Do not put any medications in her eyes at this time.
