My cat’s inner eye area is red and swollen and the eye won’t open — what’s wrong?
Red, swollen eyes that won't open can have many causes, including respiratory infection, allergy, trauma, or eye disease. If the cat also sneezes or has nasal discharge, take it to a vet to check for herpes, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. If it recently touched chemicals, pollen, or new food, it may be allergic — remove the source and seek veterinary care for anti-allergy medication. If other causes are ruled out, it is likely conjunctivitis from trauma or infection, treatable with neomycin sulfate or hydrocortisone acetate eye drops plus antibiotic ointment.

If mild, give pet-specific broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory medication at home and use pet-specific broad-spectrum antiseptic eye drops to relieve symptoms. Keep an Elizabethan collar on to prevent scratching. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital.
