Cat has a funny eye.

[WalkingThePlank]

Today, our newish cat has a slightly gunky eye and it looks smaller than usual. She also seems to be winking.

I'm assuming we need to take her to vet but wondering if I can do anything in the interim.

You can bathe it in cold tea or cool boiled saltwater but nothing else. Keep her in tomorrow if you can't get to the vet first thing, they go to ground if their ill sometimes.

Turned out to be conjunctivitis. First time we've been to the vets when it's busy. Some really big and aggressive dogs there. Not a nice experience.

Our vet has separated the waiting room now - with dividing doors between cats and pooches.

Glad it wasn't too serious.
