What should I do if one of my cat’s eyes won’t open properly?
A cat that can't quite open one eye may have an irritant or eye disease. First check for foreign objects like hair, paper or sand; flush with saline or pet eye wash, then apply neomycin sulfate eye drops to prevent infection. If there's no foreign body but redness, swelling or discharge, it may be conjunctivitis or keratitis from bacteria or viruses - clean the discharge, use antibiotic drops, and if the cat is lethargic, sneezing or off its food, see a vet to rule out feline herpesvirus or calicivirus.

Move to shade and ventilation, rinse with room-temperature water, apply an ice pack wrapped in cloth to the forehead to cool.
