Hello, I'm glad you're reaching out about your cat's eye. Eye hemorrhages in cats can be concerning, but sometimes they occur for reasons that aren't immediately dangerous. A ruptured blood vessel, for example, can happen due to trauma like a playful fall or scratching. In some cases, high blood pressure, an underlying health issue, or an eye infection might be to blame.
For now, try to keep your cat calm and limit their activity. Avoid touching or rubbing the eye, as this could worsen the situation. Ensure your cat's environment is clean to prevent further irritation or infection. If your cat is squinting, having difficulty keeping the eye open, or showing any sign of pain like excessive tearing or rubbing, these are signs that the issue might be more serious.
Monitor for any other symptoms such as changes in appetite, behavior, or general discomfort. These could be clues that the hemorrhage is part of a broader issue. It's great you're planning to see the vet as soon as possible, but if you notice any rapid deterioration, seek emergency care.
In the meantime, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can assess the situation and provide guidance until you can see your regular vet. Take care!

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
