6.5 month old scratched this morning by our cat. Scratch above eye and just below. Had good look in eye and can't see any signs if scratch. Have cleaned, put antiseptic cream on cut above eye. Put breast milk below eye and in eye.

Cat is an indoor cat and up to date with vaccines etc.

Should I take him to Doctor or do anything else? I know to look for redness/swelling etc.

Thanks

I wouldn't do anything else, if he's not bothered & it doesn't look damaged or swollen, he's fine.

Thanks. He seems fine and it looks a lot better. Spoke with HV who agreed - said he be crying if there had been any eye damage.
