What to do if my pet has fur in its eye and I can't see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

There's fur in his right eye I dont think I should take it out and I dont have access to the vet for the next few days. I've tried to rake a photo but it won't show up

To get fur out of the eye you can use saline solution, which is usually available at a store or pharmacy near the contact lens solution. You can gently flush the eye and massage the eyelids to try and clear the fur. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
