It is red and he is squinting it
It sounds like your pet is experiencing some concerning symptoms, such as redness, swelling, discharge, squinting, and holding the eye closed. These could be signs of an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or possibly an injury. It's crucial to address these symptoms promptly to prevent any potential complications.
At home, there are a few steps you can take to help your pet. First, gently clean the affected eye by wiping away any discharge with a clean, damp cloth. Use warm water and be as gentle as possible to avoid causing further irritation. Additionally, keep a close watch on any changes in the symptoms, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge. It's also important to prevent further irritation by ensuring your cat isn't rubbing the eye. If rubbing is persistent, you might consider using an Elizabethan collar to protect the area.
Given that these symptoms have persisted for a couple of days, I strongly recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotic eye drops or ointments if an infection is present.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
