Manny's left eye seems to not want to open very much, he will open his other eye but not his left. There is no swelling that I can see, just some sleepy dirt I cleaned out. Im thinking he and the little kitten were playing to rough. I was going to wait and see how it is when I get back from class. Any suggestions on what to do? Thank You!

Take him to the vet to make sure there's not a scratch on the eye. Until then, you can try putting a warm compress on it to help ease the discomfort.

With my kitties, if one of them is "winking" at me a lot, its usually their herpes acting up, esp when I find "eye boogies" as I call them. I don't always see swelling, unless I gently pull down their lower eyelid, then I see red. I would def have the vet check your kitties eye. Its always better to be safe than sorry, right?

I took him to the vet yesterday afternoon and the vet said nothing was wrong with his eye, he just had some gunk on his eye, like sleepy dirt stuck on his eye. Today he has his eye open all the way
Thanks everyone, I get worried about the littlest thing when it comes to my animals.
