i think my siamese has an eye infection, he's ...
Sent to Pet Experts January 13 04:50 PM

i think my siamese has an eye infection, he's pretty much been holding it shut when you get close to it but even when it's open it's not as much as normal. It looks a bit cloudy and the "inner lid" is protruding from the corner of his eye. He hasn't been eating much and he's all of a sudden gagging like he has a hairball but we've had him for a year and never had this problem before.

Optional Information:
Age: 1; Male; Breed: siamese cat

Already Tried:
wiping his eye and amoxicillin

Wher did you get the amoxi? Vet? Has your cat been outdoors? Any other pets in home?

never outside
just got a new kitten 2 weeks ago - he was given the amoxi for a respiratory infection he had when we got him, there was about 1 dose left. I just gave it to him because he had green discharge in his eye. the discharge has cleared up a bit but you can tell there is something wrong still... I just hate to see him uncomfortable.
