Moo's got something in his eye.

If after flushing, he continues to be bothered by it, you should probably take him to the vet--he might have a corneal abrasion.

My thoughts also. If the cornea is scratched, that can be very painful. Tow of my cats were playing, got a bit rough, and Vita scratched Sparkle's eye. Of course this heppened late on a Saturday, requiring a trip to the Emergency Vet (along with a bank roll of cash.) Came back with 3 eye drops, one to relieve pain, one to keep it dilated and one to . . . do something else. Can't recall, this was 2 years ago. Anyway, had to go in to regular vet 10 days later to ensure it was all healed up.

Cats don't show signs of being sick, but Sparkle was obviously feeling lousy. She had the eye almost closed, and just kept laying down. Didn't paw at it or anything like that.

After a long nap (because he was pooped from his adventures today) her is up and running around like normal. He is still squinting his eye. It doesn't even look red, it's the same color as the other. However, it is teary compared to the other.


Hopefully it's nothing serious. Poor wittle boy.

Poor baby Moo. Hopefully it's worked it's way out by now. How is he
doing today?

Hello,
It does sound like a scratched cornea. I worked for an eye Dr for three years and even with the sand out it is very painful if scratched. It does need to be looked at by a vet. Infection can set in very quickly. Keep a close eye on the eye and take him to the vet as soon as you can. Sometimes it is hard to see something like sand unless he is under a special light called a slit lamp which the vet should have. Good luck and keep us posted.

Maybe he just scratched the lense. Obviously, if it doesnt clear up by tomorrow, maybe a run by the vet is in order. His tears are to keep it lubricated as you know, and a canine eye saline wash might help.
