Thank you for reaching out with your concern. Noticing a change in your cat's eyes can be alarming, and it's good that you're looking for guidance. Eye changes in cats can happen for several reasons, ranging from mild to serious conditions.
If you’re seeing redness, it could be conjunctivitis, which is similar to pink eye in humans. This can be caused by allergies, infections, or irritants. Sometimes, changes in the eyes might be due to more serious conditions like trauma, uveitis (inflammation inside the eye), or indeed, diseases like feline leukemia, which can affect many parts of the body, including the eyes.
For at-home care, gently wipe any discharge with a clean, damp cloth, and try to keep your cat from rubbing its eyes. Make sure their environment is calm and free from dust or smoke that might cause irritation.
Please watch for signs like persistent redness, discharge, squinting, or changes in the size of the pupils. If your cat’s eyes look cloudy, if they're bumping into things, or if their overall behavior changes, these could indicate a more serious problem needing prompt attention.
It would be wise to book a video consult with Dial A Vet so a professional can take a closer look and guide you on the best course of action for your furry friend.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
