Re: yet another ill cat!


Oh dear - these things seem to come along in gangs Sometimes you think you should just book a slot at the vets for every session
If it's any comfort, eyes can look dramatic one day but be much better the next. Hope Lena is fit and fine this morning but if not one quick trip to the vet for a magic jab (anti-inflammatory) should do the trick. Good luck

I hope Lena's eye looks a bit better this morning, if not, maybe a visit to the vet to be on the safe side.......

Re: yet another ill cat!


I hope there is some improvement today with Lena's eye. I agree with the others, a vet visit may be in order

Re: yet another ill cat!


It's worth getting it checked out - just to make sure there isn't something lodged in her eye. Poor Lena - anything to do with the eyes is not nice at all, can be quite painful

Re: yet another ill cat!


That's good.
I think it's something to do with their third eyelid - thay get a nick on it and it reacts and swells and the whole eye looks awful. Guess it's good it's the 3rd eyelid that takes the little bit of damage rather then the eye itself.
