Cat has swelling under eye. Treated per vet instructions. It got worse in the 3 hrs I was gone this evening g.

Hi there,



I understand how concerning it must be to see the swelling under your cat's eye worsen, especially after following previous instructions. There are several reasons swelling can appear under the eye, such as an allergic reaction, an insect bite, or an abscess due to an infection or a dental issue.



Since it’s getting worse, there are a few things you can do at home to keep your cat comfortable until you can get further advice. Applying a clean, cool compress to the area can help reduce swelling and provide some relief. Be sure to monitor your cat for any signs of discomfort or pain, like pawing at the area or avoiding being touched.



Watch for signs that could indicate a more serious issue, such as significant behavioral changes, difficulty eating or drinking, discharge from the eye, or if your cat is struggling to breathe. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible.



Since the situation has worsened, I’d recommend booking a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and help guide you on the next steps to ensure your feline friend feels better soon.
