2104.1Time for a trip to the vet.VIDEO::TAYLORCat lovers are a special breed!Fri Dec 30 1988 12:047
    Patty,
    
    Take her to the vet.  It could do some serious damage to her eye
    if it is any kind of infection.

2104.2see the vet!AHOY::NDCFri Dec 30 1988 13:4411
    I agree with Holly.  We had some trouble with Bumpy (the 11 yo)
    for a while.  She got what looked like deposits on the cornea.
    It didn't seem to bother her any, but the vet was quite concerned.
    I wouldn't mess with anything having to do with the eye.  And
    not all medicines are really expensive.  Isis recently had
    a mild eye inflammation and the vet just told us to get boric
    acid (make sure its for eyes) and treat her with that.  It cleared
    up fine and didn't cost much at all.
      But again, ask the vet.

    Take her to the Vet quickly or you could catch it - it sounds
    like conjunctivitis.  It's very contagious.

2104.5CIMNET::GLADDINGExactly the same but differentTue Jan 03 1989 15:2212
    Sneakers had a problem similar to your cats - the vet said his
    third eyelid (I didn't know they have three, but I guess they
    do) was scratched, probably while he was wrestling with his
    buddy Pretzel.
    
    Anyway, I had to put ointment in his eye for about a week to
    clear it up.  
    
    I would definitely have it checked - eye infections could turn
    serious very easily.

2104.6Off to the vet tomorrowPLANET::GOLDENWed Jan 04 1989 12:504
    Katie's going to the vet tomorrow morning.  I'll let you know
    how she makes out.
    
    Thanks for the replies!
2104.7Update on KatiePLANET::GOLDENThu Jan 05 1989 11:529
    Well, Katie went to the vet this morning.  He told me that she got
    her sore eye from a fight with another cat.  The claw tore at 
    her eyelid (ouch!!!)  I've got some ointment to put on her eye
    3 times a day to keep it from getting infected.  I was relieved
    to know it was nothing too serious.
  
    Thanks for the advice everyone!
    
    Patty
