It's been nearly two months since I added a new cat to the family. They enjoy rough play and plenty of bunny kicks but they do still need to be separated when Gizmo, the bigger of the two, starts to think he can continuously pin Stevie down so I do try to always monitor their play time. Tonight though, I thought I could take a moment to enjoy my dinner when I heard a very quick cry out of a meow and that's when Gizmo came running with one of his eyes closed. When I investigated it, I saw a bit of blood and of course began a mini panic.
I wiped away the blood and tried to assess the seriousness of whatever this was but it was difficult because he still tried to play with Stevie underneath the door. His eye is able to open, though he does squint it a bit now that a few hours have passed. There seems to be some sort of mucous-y thing near the bottom of the eye that you can see in the attached picture. I thought, is it possible his third eyelid was cut and therefore is still kind of attached? He has a vet visit already scheduled for Thursday so I suppose if this had to happen, they picked a good time to do it.
Anybody had this happen before between two rowdy kitties? He's still playful and isn't rubbing at it at all. Like I said, he'll be going to the vet on Thursday. Just hoping for some peace of mind!
