Hey I need some input my tiger got into a fight with the neighborhood tom and got scratched in the eye and now it is swollen and right now it is weeping, Should I keep him inside until it heals?

Yes, you should definitely keep him inside until it heals. I would also recommend a vet visit. It may be infected and need antibiotics. Many vibes that it heals quickly.

Definitely take your kitty to the vet. You don't want an infection to get too far along to treat because he could lose the eye.

I'll move this to the Health forum where you're likely to get more responses.

Yes, definitely keep him inside and definitely get him to the vet tomorrow.  Eye issues are nothing to wait and see about.

Yes the vet said to do a routine saline rinse and keep an EYE on it, ha, ha, ha.

I hope the tom that my baby got in a fight with wasn't hanging around to woo my little ladies. They are 5 months old. I hope they haven't gone into heat, I can't afford any more kitties!
