My cat bumped its eye, can’t open it, keeps tearing, and there’s no vet nearby – how to reduce swelling fast?

From your description, the eye shows tearing and cannot open after a bump. Clean around the eye with saline to prevent infection, then use pet anti-inflammatory eye drops.

If there is a wound, apply erythromycin ointment. For severe cases, add oral broad-spectrum and pain medicine.

If it does not improve, take the cat to a vet.
