I can clearly see your cat's condition from the photos. This is a serious eye wound with an active infection (pus). Here is what you need to know:

Your Cat's Condition - What I See

The images show a deep wound or socket where one eye should be, with surrounding redness, swelling, and pus discharge. This indicates an active bacterial infection in a serious wound. This is NOT something that will heal on its own safely.

IMPORTANT: This Needs a Vet - Here's Why

  • Pus means there is a bacterial infection that requires prescription antibiotics
  • A deep wound near the eye socket can spread infection to the skull or brain if untreated
  • The wrong medication (especially steroid-containing drops) can cause catastrophic damage
  • Pain management - your cat is suffering and needs relief

What You Can Do RIGHT NOW (While Arranging a Vet Visit)

Safe first aid steps:
  1. Clean the wound gently - Use a clean cotton ball moistened with plain warm water only. Wipe the pus/discharge away from the wound, moving outward. Use a fresh cotton ball each time. Do this 2-3 times a day.
  2. Do NOT use:
    • Human eye drops (Visine, etc.)
    • Hydrogen peroxide or alcohol
    • Any steroid cream or drops
    • Leftover human antibiotics
    • Salt water directly in the wound
  3. Prevent scratching - If you have a cone/Elizabethan collar, put it on your cat now to stop him from pawing the wound and making it worse.
  4. Keep him indoors in a clean, quiet space to reduce further contamination.

At the Vet, They Will Likely Prescribe:

  • Topical antibiotic eye ointment (e.g., chloramphenicol, tobramycin, or neomycin-based - for veterinary use only)
  • Oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin-clavulanate or doxycycline for the deeper infection
  • Pain relief (meloxicam or buprenorphine - these need a prescription and correct weight-based dosing for cats)
  • Wound flushing and possibly surgical cleaning (debridement)

Can You Give Human Medicines?

No - please do not give human medicines without vet guidance. Many drugs that are safe for humans are toxic to cats, including:
  • Ibuprofen, paracetamol/acetaminophen (these can kill cats even in small doses)
  • Most human antibiotic eyedrops may contain preservatives or steroids unsafe for open wounds

Bottom Line

Your cat needs a vet as soon as possible - ideally today. The pus means the infection is active and spreading. With proper antibiotics and wound care, cats recover well from these injuries - but without treatment, the infection can become life-threatening within days.
If cost is a concern, contact your local animal rescue or shelter - many have low-cost vet partnerships or can help with emergency cases.
