My cat got shampoo in his eye during bath. Should I call the vet?

Just rinse out the eye with A LOT of tap water. The eye is going to be irritated, that would be expected. You can go to a pharmacy and buy artificial tears ointment to apply to the eye twice a day until it looks better.

It can stay irritated for several hours or even 24 hours sometime, you will have to monitor it during this time but by tomorrow it should get better, if it doesn't take her to the vet in order to get it treated.

Poor Harry. Yes, I agree that it could be he got some shampoo in his eye. Keep rinsing them with cold water, and if they are still bothering him in the morning, take him into the vet. Best of luck.

It could be that some of the hot water splashed into Chimpu's eyes irritating them Try flushing his eyes with cool water to see if that helps. If he keeps rubbing at them, the eyes turns red, and/or you see a discharge coming from his eyes, then I would have him checked out by a vet. I hope this helps!

It's very likely some shampoo got into her eye, try to gently rinse the eye with running water then try to leave it for a few hours to calm down. if within 4-6 hours you do not see any improvement in the eye condition you should then take her to your vet in order to get it checked and treated, she might need eye drops to reduce the irritation.

Clean the eyes with a moist cotton 3 times a day (lukewarm water), if it's still bothering him tomorrow take him to the vet to get special drops.

Hello. It is possible that Snowey is reacting to something that was used in the eyes. Closed eyes are an indication the eyes really are bothering him. If you have an emergency clinic nearby it would be a good idea to have Snowey evaluated to make sure he is not developing any potential problems with the eyes. Otherwise, please contact your veterinarian tomorrow to see what needs to be done to help Snowey. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
