Hello,
About 10 days ago, my indoor/outdoor 10-month-old kitten killed a baby rabbit. (Which may or may not be related to this issue). As the day progressed, I noticed that he was squinting a little bit in one eye. By late that evening, he came into the house with his eye completely swollen and tearing/watering profusely. His inner lids were swollen and red.
We set up an appointment with the vet, which was about 3 days after the incident. By that time, the swelling had gone down, but he developed what looks to be like a small blister right in the center of his left eye, (about the size of a BB pellet). Just over the pupil. It looks like a tiny gray blob. Almost exactly like the pus that was secreting from his eye, when he first started having an issue. The eye no longer drips, and it's bothering him a lot less. He opens it almost completely now, but the little gray lump on his eye is still there. (I'll try to get a picture, but it's difficult to get into hold still enough to make that happen).
The vet had no idea what it was. They tried to rub it away with swabs, but it seems to be securely attached to the eye. This is a vet that specializes in cats, and I'm pretty happy with their services so far, so I was surprised to hear that. She gave us some antibacterial drops, which we've been using for a week now.
Has anyone encountered anything like this? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!
