One of our cats has had there eye closed for some time. We took her to the vet last month and was told she had an infection. Well we have doctored till all the meds are gone,giving it to our other cats as well that had 1st symptoms of an eye infection. They healed very quickly but her eye seems to be getting worse. The eye itself is red and it's like there is no pupil!!! She tries to open the eye on occation and doesn't seemed to be bothered as she plays! I will be taking her back to the vet soon to check it out. Thanks so much for any inste on this.

If her eye is red and like there is no pupil you need to get your cat to a vet as soon as possible.  It sounds like she is still in a lot of pain if she tends to keep the eye closed, and the red may either be severe inflamation or blood in the eye.  Please get her to a vet as quickly as you can.  It is good that all your other cats now look OK but this one needs urgent attention.

Cats cope very well with use of one eye only but it does not sound like she is using this eye.

I hope you are able to help her.  Please let me know how you get on.  What is her name?
