Poor Rafiki.
A little history: She was a barn cat at the racetrack, I took her in and spayed her. Brought her to my place to recover. I have 3 cats. She's been in the bathroom. Lately I've left the bathroom door open (i.e. my cats can interact with her). There has been some hissing, but mostly just "staring."
Well, yesterday she was holding her left eye closed (right eye normal). No extra tearing or mucus, not rubbing it. If she heard a noise she'd open both eyes and look, but then go back to having it closed. Both pupils the same size. Figured I'd wait and see what she looked like tomorrow.
Today she's still holding the eye closed but now she's rubbing at it a little. I can open the eye and there is some conjunctivitis but no foreign body that I can see. She has an appointment with the vet tomorrow afternoon.
I'm hoping that she didn't get a claw in the eye from one of my cats.
Her appetite and desire for affection have been constant so far.
Poor Rafiki.
I'll keep you updated!
