My kitten fell down stairs, now has a red, small eye. Should I worry?

Oh my. Your kitty is in dire need of medical attention. She may have an intracranial hemorrhage. Poor kitty. She needs to be seen right away for potential life saving treatment. I hope your kitty will be ok. Best of luck to you. Here is a website link to help you locate an ER vet near you. http://www.vetlocator.com/

I would have Miss Kitty seen by a vet now. Young kittens are very fragile, and and I'm concerned that she took a hard fall and now just wants to be sleep. She needs to be checked out to be safe. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your kitten. Just watch her for any signs of continued nose bleed, decrease in appetite, lethargy, facial swelling, change in mentation, wobbly when walking. If she acts normal, is eating, drinking, interacting the same without any problems most likely she is going to be fine. Kittens are very resilient but it is always good to check when these sorts of accidents happen. Best of luck!

Poor Angel! She needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as you can. Eye injuries should never be left to see how they progress. Vision can be lost very quickly without appropriate care. I am also concerned that Angel may have some other injuries that are not visible-the trauma needed to induce bleeding in the eye like she has could also result in significant head trauma and broken bones. Your vet will perform a thorough physical exam, including looking in Angel's eyes. There likely will be eye medications dispensed, and if your vet has concerns about head trauma they may recommend Angel stay at the hospital for monitoring or even special medications for brain swelling.

If she seems to be fine then just be sure to keep a careful eye on her to ensure she hasn't injured yourself. While petting her, take care to run your hands over her gently to see if she has any swelling or seems painful anywhere, if so, I recommend getting her seen by your vet as soon as possible. As long as she seems normal, eating, drinking, doing her daily cat routine, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Freya. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. The bleeding is worrisome and needs to be evaluated. She may require treatment. She could have an external wound or have actually sustained damage within the eye itself. In the meantime, do not allow her to paw as the eye as this can cause further trauma. I hope this information helps!

You need to monitor her closely in the next 48 hours, the sneezing is probably from falling on the nose and that should resolve soon enough. you also need to check the eye every day and make sure the pus does not get worse, if it does then there is an active infection and you will need to take her to the vet to get it treated.
