The How-To of Cat Eye Care
By Mylar Skye
Cat eye care is part of the responsibility of owning a cat. But it is not something that will take up a lot of time (if any). The best care you can provide is to educate yourself with the symptoms you cat may exhibit that will need the care of a veterinarian. When you look at your cat’s eyes they should be clear and when you see the outer part of the eyeball it should be white.
When you see some of these additional symptoms, it is time for a trip to the vet to ensure your pet is receiving the best cat eye care possible. If the eyeball itself (not the iris) appears red instead of white, if the surface of the cat’s eye appears milky or cloudy instead of clear and glassy, if there is a watery or other type of discharge coming from the cat’s eye or tear duct, or if the nictating membrane (commonly referred to as the third eyelid) is visible and starting to come across the eye.
When you have your vet appointment, the doctor will do an examination of the cat and most likely prescribe eye drops or an ointment for your cat eye care to continue at home. When administering either it is best to have someone on hand to help you restrain the cat – swaddling the cat (like a baby) in a towel works well and prevents you or your helper from getting scratched. Clean the cat’s eye of any discharge or mucous, hold the eyelid open and put the drops in the middle of the eye. Release the cat and when it starts to blink, the medication will be moved around the eye.
