Why is my cat's eye red, watery, squinting, and he looks drained?

I see what you mean. He could be squinting because the light is painful to his eye, and it may be he has injured his eyes or has an eye infection. Any eye problem is an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take him into a vet right away to get checked out. Best of luck.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about He Tian. I would suspect that he may have gotten into a fight with another animal outdoors, or he could have injured his eye. He can't keep his eye open because the eye is painful to light. He has to see a vet immediately. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him 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. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

It sounds like Squeak could have an eye infection. 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. You need to take her into a vet immediately to have her eye examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed. I hope this helps!

If there is an emergency vet within a reasonable distance, I would recommend that Willie get checked out sooner than later. Eye problems can be very painful, and can go from bad to worse very quickly (even overnight). There can be many causes of squinting an eye, including something stuck under the eyelid, corneal abrasion or ulcer, autoimmune disease, among a few others. Without personally seeing it I can't be certain, but what you may be seeing with him "looking to the upper right" is the effect of a raised third eyelid covering the inner part of the eye to make it look weird. You can try to flush the eye with a saline eye rinse, but do not apply any medications topically. Keep him inside in a dim room since bright light makes many eye problems more painful.

Poor Harley! It sounds like he could have an eye infection or may have injured his eyes. He needs to see a vet as soon as possible for this problem. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet for treatment. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Mojo is having eye issues. Discharge from the eye can have a variety of causes, including an infection, a lack of normal tear production, or a virus, for example. If the eye is worsening and looks red, I would recommend he be evaluated by his regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for his eye issue and start any treatment (eye drops or antibiotics) that he may need. Good luck!

the most common causes are an eye infection or an eye injury (most commonly a scratch on the cornea). If the color of the cornea seems to be changing, i would consider it as an emergency, the damage to the eye might not be reversible if you wait until a monday apointment. if it is just a milky discharge, then it may be ok to wait until monday if it doesn't get worse in the meantime.
