Your cat probably strached his eye. when you are dealing with eyes, the best treatment is from a doctor. Take it to the vet. If there is a scratch in the cornea he will need some antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection from getting started while it heals. If it is an eye infection call "conjuntivitis" it will still need opthalmic ointment or drops to clear it up. It is probably something simple, but why take a chance with cat loosing his sight. opthalmalic ointment works very well.

Dogs develop bloodshot eyes for many of the same reasons any mammal (including humans) do: irritation, infection, dry eye and foreign body would be on the top of my list.

Certain breeds of dogs have malformed eyelids as part of their breed standard - a veterinarian can correct this relatively easily during surgery.

Conjunctivitis is a bacterial infection of the eye that humans and animals can get. This infection is easily treated with antibiotics that are placed in the conjuctival sac of the eye.

How do you prevent bloodshot eyes?

Bloodshot eyes, There are several causes for bloodshot eyes including alergy- so avoid eye makeup and skin products. Avoid alchol, could you be alergic to a pet? Cats can often cause this reaction. There are several over-the-counter products you can buy today that can help clear up red, tired eyes. You can use some of these products every now and then to help clear up bloodshot eyes. But, if you use them too much, you can get a condition called, "Rebound Hyperemia." Eye drops that contain the chemicals tetrahydrozaline or naphazoline are the culprits. These chemicals work by constricting the blood vessels in your eyes. This reduction helps eliminate the redness. However, use drops that contain these chemicals too often and your eyes will be more bloodshot than they already were! Why? Because your eye muscles will weaken because of the constant constriction. To help relieve a mild case of bloodshot eyes, use this homemade treatment: close your eyes and splash cold water several times onto your eyelids. The cold water will help the blood vessels to constrict. The water will also help cool and lubricate your eyes. Hope you cure them!

Does blood thinner cause bloodshot eye?

no, it would not cause your eyes to be bloodshot. Bloodshot eyes come from inflammation of the conjunctiva (the mucus membranes over your eyes/eyelids). Thinning of the blood could not cause conjunctivitis (bloodshot eyes) unless you have an allergy to that medication that could cause bloodshot eyes (which I would think would be almost impossible).
