Question
My cat Alley just got fixed 4 days ago, we've been moving at the same time so I've had her and her brother, Homer, locked in the bathroom for a couple of days, they were peeing in the old place, so I've started to let them out, but all of a sudden Alley is keeping her right eye shut, sometimes she has it open(started last night) we looked at the eye today and it doesn't look the same as the other, there's a light haziness to it, would you have any idea what this could be?  

Answer
Hi Eric!
It shouldn't have anything to do with her getting spayed.  I wonder if she and Homer were playing rough and he accidentally swiped at her eye?  I would keep an eye on it,and if it doesn't get better you may need to take her to the Vet for an antibiotic ointment.  I would take her in especially if hte haziness doesn't clear up.

God Bless,
Becky
