My cat got nail polish in her eye. Is she okay? What should I do?

Oh no, poor kitty! Yes, you are right that breathing in nail polish can cause internal harm if it contains acetone. It can cause pulmonary injury from being inhaled, and it would be a good idea to have him checked out by a vet today since he was showing some concerning signs. The vet can diagnose if there is anything to worry about and if he needs treatment or not.

Hello. It sounds like you did a great job cleaning Frances off. Small ingestions like this are rarely harmful or dangerous, so I would not be worried. Just watch for any gastrointestinal upsets like vomiting, diarrhea or a loss of appetite. I really do not expect you to see anything, but it is good to be watchful. If she stays well over the next day or so, she will continue to do just fine. Any concerns, please contact your veterinarian. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Luna. It could be she has injured her eye when she got outside, or it may be an infection. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take her into a vet first thing in the morning. I hope this helps!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Jynx. I always treat eye problems as emergencies since the eyes are very special sense organs and injuries/problems with them can deteriorate very quickly. It sounds like she may have scratched or poked the cornea (the outer surface of the eye). If the cornea is damaged, it needs to be treated right away and evaluated for a possible foreign body also. This condition is very painful so that's another to treat right away. Your vet can get a detailed history, do an exam, advise some tests (corneal stain, tear test if needed, measure eye pressure) and then advise a sound treatment plan with follow up appointments as needed. Eye drops, eye ointments, pain medicines, e collars to prevent self trauma to the eye, etc are all possible treatments. Good luck with Jynx.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Moka. It looks like she may have an injury above that eye. Gently clean it with warm water, and monitor it. If it looks infected, or she rubs at it, you see redness in the eye, or eye discharge, then I would take her into a vet. I hope this helps!

Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly, so I recommend taking Luna into the vet first thing in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing this cloudiness, and can treat her. Best of luck.

I would continue to monitor Victoria for other wounds or possible internal injuries. 5 stories is quite a fall! And it may take a few days for other injuries to manifest. If she will let you, you can flush her eyes with a human eye saline solution. Maybe she got some dirt in her eyes. As soon as the vet is open, I would have her examined further. Do not put any medications in her eyes at this time.
