My cat's eye is closed and pink. What can I do at home to help?

Question

My cats let eye is closed and only sometimes it barely opens. It looks a little bit pink but I can’t tell properly. Is there anything I can do at home to help him like get a gotten ball and soak it in water to help? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 2 years old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately there isn’t much you can do at home without knowing what is going on. You can rinse it with contact saline but I recommend taking Milo to a vet to make sure there isn’t a scratch or corneal ulcer. Once they find out what is going on they can prescribe medications to help him feel better. Good luck and kisses to Milo!
