My old cat has some bruising above his eyes region

Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Bruising in cats, particularly around the eyes, can be concerning, especially in an older feline friend. There are several potential causes for this. It could be a minor injury from bumping into something, especially as cats age and may not see as well. However, bruising can also be a sign of a more significant issue, such as a bleeding disorder or high blood pressure, which are more common in senior cats.



At home, ensure your cat has a safe space where he can't easily hurt himself. Check for any potential hazards that could cause bumps or injuries. It can also be helpful to softly pat the area and check if he seems sensitive to touch, which could indicate pain or a more serious injury.



Keep an eye out for other signs, such as changes in behavior, loss of appetite, lethargy, or any additional bruising. These signs would warrant a closer look, as they might indicate an underlying health problem needing attention.



Given your cat's age and the potential for serious issues, it might be best to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. They can provide a thorough assessment and guide you on the next steps for your cat's health and wellbeing.
