My cat's eyes are red and watery for days, what should I do?

I always lean toward being more careful with eye conditions. Even though you could likely wait 5 days, I would probably go to the emergency vet if it was my cat. And it is likely uncomfortable for Roxie, so I would like to get it treated. Eye conditions can become very severe very quickly, so I would have it evaluated sooner rather than later. I hope that helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor Shay! Her eye could be watering due to injury, infection, or allergies. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Shay seen by a vet immediately to diagnose what is causing her eye to water so it can be treated.

It sounds like Pepita has an eye infection or has injured her eye. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take her into a vet immediately to have this problem examined, diagnosed, and treated. Best of luck.

I'm sorry Cherry has eye discharge. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any eye problem is considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Given she won't let you look at it, it's like very painful to Cherry. I would have Cherry seen by a vet immediately for this, as it needs to be examined and treated right away.

Hi. Poor baby. This could be an infection or a corneal ulcer. Both which are red and painful. I would recommend getting him seen today or tomorrow. Nothing over the counter besides saline is safe. Good luck

I am so sorry to hear that Ichabod is experiencing these problems with his eyes. Thank you for providing an excellent picture, it seems slightly redx the third eye lid is protruding, and has discharge. Start by placing an e-collar or cone on Ichabod to prevent scratching or rubbing. If the eye is infected it is likely painful, this will prompt Him to scratch or rub hiseye. However, this could inflict further damage, infection or even an ulceration. Because eye concerns with cats, such as infections, corneal ulcerations, cataracts and glaucoma, can progress rapidly in I would have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the issue. The precise medication can then be dispensed by your veterinarian. Please do not attempt to treat an eye infection at home with any over the counter medications, drops or ointments. This can lead to permanent damage and unnecessary pain or discomfort. I hope this answer was helpful and that Ichabod feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both!

Young kittens often get conjunctivitis. It's not pink eye (meaning it's not contagious to you), but it may require medication from your veterinarian for clinical signs to resolve. It does not sound like an emergency, but I would schedule an appointment with your veterinarian within the next several days if clinical signs have not resolved or certainly if they worsen.
