Casper has poked Oliver in the eye when playing, Olivers eye is now closed and very sore..I have been bathing it with warm water, Do I ..take him to the vet, or just keep bathing it?

If it was me I think I would watch for 24 hours. If your vet always fits you in on the day you ring leave it till tomorrow morning - if you need to book ahead ring now for a mid-day appointment tomorrow but cancel if it's better.

I suspect it will calm down in time - cats eyes seem to react very quickly, both up and down.

Hope so

I would see how it goes for a while Moli. I was accidently poked in the eye when my children were small, it was uncomfortable for hours but gradually eased. As DM said, give it a few hours to see if it improves....The only danger is if Casper scratched his eye

Thanks guy's, it probably looks worse than it is, my vet is brilliant will give you an appointment for that day.....See how it is tomorrow..........

Claude came in with a sore eye the other day. He couldn't open it and it was watering terribly....but within a couple of hours it looked back to normal again so I would be inclined to wait and see Moli......Poor Ollie, hope it gets better soon x

Let us know how you get on at the vets Pat.

Not going to take him till tomorrow, want to wait and see what it is like in the morning..........

Took ollie to the vet, his eyeball is swollen and bruised, vet think he has been hit with something.....Not Casper....
