My cat is hold her eye close and teary, what is wrong?
okay, this isn't like milk eye or an eye cold. it is like the eye is irritated, but i looked at it and i don't see anything. it doesn't look infected. she doesn't have a fever, she is eating, grooming and drinking, but she isn't playing, she is seams lazy all of a sudden. i know cats can be withdrawn when in pain, i would just like to know what is wrong with her eye.
it isn't red or swollen, and it isn't sealed shut by crusties. it actually looks normal except that it looks like she is crying clear tears. oh, and no mucus discharge either.
WARNING:
no judgmental comments on how i should take my cat to the vet, the appointment has already been made. any mean or nasty answers or comments will be reported. please be nice and thank you for understanding.

Your vet will most likely place an eye stain in the eye and examine with a special light to check for a scratch on the cornea. This could be caused from any number of things. If she does have one then special medication is needed. A corneal abrasion is painful so the cat often holds the eye closed or squints and tears are often plentiful.
Hope your cat feels better - thank you for taking to the vet for an exam before trying any home remedies. A scratch can often not be seen without a special light.

pets come with vet bills. see your vet. if serious he may lose his eye if you do nothing.
