My cat hit her head pretty hard on the wall playing and now she has facial swelling and teary eyes as of yesterday. This happened three days ago. Any home remedies I can do to help my baby?

There is nothing that can be done from home. I would recommend taking Puzzle to the veterinarian to have her evaluated. Depending on where the facial swelling is depends on what it can be from but she needs to have a vet look at her physically. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
