“How do I help this little one in the meantime? I just cleaned its eye & within 10 minutes its already stuck closed again. 🙁”source ↗

“Her eyes have been very watery, she rubs them since last night but my husband and I don’t see anything in them?”source ↗

“I’ve never had a cat with so many BOOGERS, I think it’s a result of getting dust in her fluff and then sucking it up into her nostrils when she cleans herself. I also noticed her nose can get dry.”source ↗

“I don’t know what to do. The area above the eye is also swollen.”source ↗

“Before I take her to the vet, has anyone else experienced this?”source ↗

“Our cat Daisy had a swollen eye a few weeks back. Trip to vets and given eye drops and a steriod to give her, which seemed to help heal. she was kept indoors for 3 weeks, and eventually let out again. But it seems to come back, so we are going back to the vet.”source ↗

“All her bloodwork is fine. I’ve spent $1100 on her since Sunday.. but what the heck!! Everything is perfectly fine and her eyes have been this way since Saturday. Off and on.. usually shows worse when she’s laying down or tilting her head in different positions.”source ↗

“The cat seems fine, he eats, we play and he sleeps, he doesn't seem to be in discomfort, but it doesn't seem like the normal eye goo you can have, you know?”source ↗

“But goo forms inside the eye where the tear canal is and you can kinda pet him around the eye and make him close it and squeeze it out. It's like 2-3 blobs per week and both eyes”source ↗

“A few weeks ago during a typical scuffle between my two cats, my 2yo female cat sustained a small puncture/scratch right in the tear duct of her eye.”source ↗

“It keeps scabbing over a dark red but then falling off and I’m assuming due to the moisture in the area is having a hard time healing.”source ↗

“My question is, is there anything I can do to aid healing like creams to apply? Or should this become a vet visit?”source ↗
