How to spot & treat cat eye issues

Even though cats can’t talk, their behaviors tell us when there’s an issue.

Symptoms

  • Redness of the eye
  • Discharge coming from the eye
  • Swelling in the tissue surrounding the cornea
  • Keeping eyes closed
  • Excessive squinting and blinking
  • Pawing at the eye
  • Watery eyes

Causes

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Dry eye
  • Foreign objects
  • Inflammation 
  • Allergies

How can I treat eye issues?

The best way to treat your cat’s eye issues is bythrough identifying the root cause. Schedule a video call with a top-rated vet at Dutch to diagnose your cat’s eye issue and prescribe treatment — without having to deal with the stressful visit to the vet.

Red Flags

Symptoms such as sudden cloudiness, blue haze, bulging eye, inability to open eye, or obvious trauma should be treated by an in-person vet or ER care.

How can telemedicine help?

The vets at Dutch can virtually treat many common eye issues, such as mild conjunctivitis, allergies, and uncomplicated discharge. An in-person visit may be needed for more serious conditions and/or if testing is needed. If the vet can’t treat your pet virtually, they’ll tell you how to care for them until you’re able to see an in-person vet. They can also provide second opinions and follow-up care after you see a local vet.

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

Our vets can provide care and prescriptions for more than 150 issues — and over 90% of cases can be treated virtually. 

The vet can diagnose your pet based on your description of their symptoms, their medical history, seeing them during your video call, and, if needed, through uploaded photos and videos. They may ask you to do a few simple checks during the call. We also offer a number of at-home lab test kits for dogs and cats.

The health and safety of pets is our top priority. In the rare case that a vet determines a pet needs to go to a local clinic, they’ll provide a referral and offer advice on how to care for them until they can be seen. 

Some things that require in-person care include emergencies, wounds that need stitches, and issues that require blood work, imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds), or surgery.

Our vets are always available for second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits — so you don’t have to navigate health issues alone.

We offer several membership plans to fit your needs and budget. All of our annual plans include fast, unlimited access to vets via video chat and messaging for up to 5 pets — for one low price.

Prescriptions and any other treatments the vet recommends aren’t included in your membership. The cost of these varies based on what your pet needs. You can browse our pharmacy to get an idea of medication costs. To make your pet’s care as affordable as possible, we offer a price-match guarantee and free standard shipping.
