Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Can I snag some purrs please?
I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty asking about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I could use it! My eye has suddenly got sore and red this afternoon... there's nothing visible in it and I can see just fine, but it hurts! Can I please have some purrs for it to get better? I really don't want to have to go to the doctor just now if it's an eye infection or something. > My eye has suddenly got sore and red this afternoon... there's nothing > visible in it and I can see just fine, but it hurts!

Sounds like conjunctivitis, which just means "inflammation of the conjunctiva". That's a membrane around your eye. It can be caused by a number of things - an infection, or allergies, an irritant (ie, something in your eye), and maybe other things. Sometimes it just goes away by itself, but if you do have an infection, you'll need to get it treated. If you wake up tomorrow and find that your eyelashes seem to be cemented together, that's definitely conjunctivitis, and you should probably see a doctor. In the meantime, run a facecloth under warm water, and then hold that against your eye. That can often help a lot. Purrs that it's something minor! Joyce > Sounds like conjunctivitis, which just means "inflammation of the > conjunctiva".... Oh, forgot to mention - this can often be quite contagious, so take care when rubbing your eye and then touching things. I even think this is one of the ailments you can get from/give to cats. I believe I got it from Roxy once, many years ago. Joyce > I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty asking > about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I could use it!

Don't wait too long on that Karen. Hope it is feeling better soon. > I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty > asking about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > want to have to go to the doctor just now if it's an eye > infection or something. I hope it turns out to be just fatigue. Purrs from the furry ones here for it to be nothing serious.

Your eyes are too precious. Maybe pinkeye? (is that just a slang word for conjuctivitis, maybe they're they same thing) Purrs a'coming for you. Hope it clears up quick.

I've had conjuntivitis, and it is incredibly uncomfortable. Purrs for all to be well. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War Is it the sclera(white) part of your eye that's red? If it is others have suggested conjunctivitis, which I think call for antibiotic eyedrops; but if it's your eyelid you may have a stye (infected follicle); in which case hot warm washcloths may help relieve the irritation of the infection and help bring it to a head. purrs, in any case!

Thanks Christine... it's the white part at the outside corner... I've had a stye once or twice before and it was mighty uncomfortable for a few days, but I don't think this is the same thing. I'll see how it is in the morning - if it's not 100% better it'll be time for a doctor's appointment - I've got very flawed eyesight as it is, so I don't mess around with what I've got left. > I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty asking > about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I could use it! If your eye is red and sore, that's not a minor problem, especially to the owner of the eye! Purrs for your eye situation. PRAYER PEOPLE PRAYER THA HECK IS PURR? Go see the doc! Purrs it will get better soon. sandra > I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty asking > about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I could use it!

Purrs for your eye, there's pleanty for everybody. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk Purrs for it to be only tired eye. If it hasn't gotten any better today, though, I would definitely go get some drop from my doctor - eye infections are not something you want to deal with!

I have a sore eye, too. I did the dumbest thing. While starting to wash my hair, I squeezed the nearly-empty bottle of shampoo, and somehow, a glob of shampoo landed right in my eye! I flushed with water for what seemed like forever, and it finally felt better, but still hurts. So, I sympathize!

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >water for what seemed like forever, and it finally felt better, but >still hurts. So, I sympathize! Ouch! That must have burned! I hate getting soap in my eyes... My poor eye definitely has conjunctivitis but John says that you don't need to go to the doctor for it because it's a virus and it'll go away by itself... he's had it a zillion times, but it's new to me! Thanks for the purrs... I'm pretty sure it'll go away by itself and it's only a very minor discomfort now. >I know this is a terribly minor problem so I feel a bit guilty asking > about it... but the power of the purr is strong and I could use it! [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > some purrs for it to get better? I really don't want to have to go to > the doctor just now if it's an eye infection or something. Purrs for your eye but at least see a pharmacist if not better in a day or two. Your sight is very precious, never risk it as once it's gone, it's gone. You could try bathing it in a warm saline solution in the meantime until you decide to get it looked at.

Late in seeing this, but I do hope your eye is better. SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe |
