Question

Cat's left eye.
Okay, So I get home from school and I find my cat walking out of the bedroom as I was calling her, and I see her, Pick her up and HER WHOLE LEFT EYE IS COMPLETELY SWOLLEN!!! It's covered by some white covering and its blocking her entire eye. and the white part is puffy and squishy like... I'm really scared for her and freaked out. I don't know what to do about it? Please tell me it's nothing serious... tell me what's wrong with her eye!?

Answer
Since I am not there and cannot look past her third eyelid, there is no way I can know what is wrong with it. The white you see is her third eyelid.

She needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible. She has either hit it, gotten something in it, been in a fight or was bonked by a car.

Either way, to save her eye, she needs to see a vet tomorrow!
Please don't wait any longer past that.
