See a vet. If that is out of your price range, gently washing the cats eye with baby shampoo should work. Watch those claws. If you can put the cat into a cloth bag with only the head poking out....you get the idea. Trust me, the best thing you can do for your cat is to take him/her to the veterinarian. My kitten had the same thing, and the more I waited around, the worse it got. Call your vet and he'll prescribe this special ointment for cats and in a few weeks, my kitten's eye infection was gone and she wasn't meowing loudly anymore because of the pain. My kitten can also see better because she was always squinting her eyes for the pain. For now, all you can do is clean under her eyes where it was dark with a cotton swab or cotton ball. Just add some water to the swab and rub it gently under her eyes and try to clean it. Be careful as you don't want to hurt her!! I wish the best for your cat, and you!!

∙ 16y agoThat depends on why the eyelid is swollen. Check to see if you can find anything in the eye or eyelid. If you do see something, DO NOT try to remove it yourself, since that could cause more harm, let your vet do that. If you don't see anything in the cat's eye, or on the eyelid, try holding a warm compress (gently) over the eye for about 10-15 minutes. If the swelling does not go down, contact your vet as soon as possible. And do not try to medicate the eye yourself by applying antibiotic cream, eye drops, etc., since this could also cause more harm to your cat's eye.

If the baby's eye is closed due to a crusty looking substance, then get a clean, soft rag or cloth, moisten it with warm water, and gently rub in a circular motion.
