My cat's eye is swollen and red after a fight. Can Vetco help?

Question

Looks my cat has been in a fight. Her eye is swollen and the bottom lid is all red. Can I get a prescription for eye drops at a Vetco or do I need to go to a store with vet services? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 lbs

Hi, I would strongly recommend to have her eye checked by a vet first, as can be damage to the cornea which happens quite common in fighting injuries so the vet will need to stain the eye and asses the cornea. If the cornea is scratched it will need immediate treatment with close monitoring and follow up. The course of treatment will depend upon the severity of the injury and the part of the eye that was injured. Some eye drops can cause even more damage to an eye with ulcerated cornea so a vet need to decide the drops to be used on the eye.
