My cat's eye is swollen and painful. Does she need emergency vet care?

Question

Hello doctor! I have a request. Kindly help me out. Someone has beaten up my cat in her left eye. And she is in pain. She is unable to close her eyes. And there is a swelling. It seems as if someone has pulled her eyes out. She is a female cat. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 2 lbs

Yes, it does look like she suffered some trauma to that eye. From the photo, it looks like the eye probably cannot be saved. Kitty should see a veterinarian as soon as possible for an exam. They can then determine if surgery to remove the injured eye is the best option. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
