Please take your baby to the vet as soon as possible! I do not mean this to sound mean, but cats are very dirty animals, and I would be very concerned about infection in the eye. I would actually not put any drops in before it is examined by a vet, no saline anything...Bruce has had conjunctivitus (pink eye) that he got from some filthy little child petting him, and the vet said that saline or other drops would have just spread the infection around his eye. |
Vet immediately. It's not that cats are worse than other scratches, but part of their claw can come off in the eye. I've had this happen with a dog. And any scratch to an eye is dangerous in animals and in humans. |
She is fine. Scratched cornia. Taking her back today for a check up. Thanks for everyones concern. :) |
Oh glad to hear it wasn't too bad!:) |
Scratched Cornea 1 Attachment(s) I just went through this several months ago. My little Itzi scratched her eye I think when I was hiding Easter Eggs for my nieces and nephews. I took her to the vet and I was sent to a Ophthamlmologist. She was started on 5 different antibotics and one ointment to stop the infection. No sleep for two days. When we went back for a recheck, she had gotten worse and was rushed to surgery to save the eye (Told I could have it removed for 150.00, if I didn't want to spend the money) They preformed a Pedicle graft. To make a long story short. Her eye was saved- she has 55% vision in that eye with some scare tissue left from the surgery, but she still has her eye !!! I was very blessed everything worked out. :D |
Wow,I feel really lucky!! If your eye heals like Rio tho that scar will be invisible to everyone but you. Even my vets don't notice it till they look at it with a light. It did take several months for the white scar to go away tho. |
