Poor kitty's eye is all pissed-off. Probably from rough-housing with her sister. Okay so for all you peoples who may experience this with your new kitten (or cat) at some point....here's some info. (might save you a vet fee.....but use your own discretion).
symptoms were:
- Got home from work yesterday to find her eye tearing.....alot, and slight swelling
- Tearing continued through to next morning...also noticed that swelling had increased. (took pics before work to post online and consult co-worker who's an ex-vet-tech)
- Got home from work again and noticed it looked worse again.....took her to vet.
Got prescribed a triple-antibiotic ointment from a vet....that's all it is....Walgreen's people. Clean the tears away and smear it right into the eye....eyeball itself if you can, such that when he/she blinks it'll work it's way into the 3rd eyelid. Sounds nasty....but it's what's required to make the conjunctivite reduce swelling. 3x/day for 3-5 days. Check back with vet afterwards (if you already wetn to vet....or if it doesn't improve). Vet was telling me that the great thing about cats' eyes is that they either get worse big-time or better big-time real fast.....so there's no confusion.
Anyway, I don't have pics but her eye is covered with this antoboitoc ointment and she look miserable (one more dose tonight before bed).
I should have listened to my ex-vet-tech co-worker who told me to do the exact same thing....but....it's the eye ya know? I don't like taking chances.
...and on that note, neither should you. Don't take chances and don't take this post as a diagnosis...but as information....with pics to help.
