Question
My three year old male cat has a red/pink swollen eye that he cannot open.
Hi Kathy!
He may have gotten scratched by another cat or has a foreign object in his eye. You really need to take him to a Vet for antibiotics and they will probaly prescribe an ointment to put in his eye too. This won't get better, he needs the help of a profesional.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
