How To Keep Dogs and Cats From Fighting
Place your dog’s food bowl outside of the cat’s room so that the dog will associate the cat with something positive (Of course, make sure it's good food!)

Q:Hello, I hate for this to be my first post but here goes. I had my cat neutered on Friday and he stayed overnight at the vet. I picked himup on Saturday morning. He pretty much slept all day on Saturday except to eat and do his business and I didn't notice anything unusual. Today though while playing with him I noticed that his right eye is cloudy. It isn't watering or anything and he isn't rubbing it at all. It doesn't seem to be bothering him in any way. As it doesn't seem to be an emergency I'm going to call my vet in the morning to make an appointment for him. I'm just wondering what it could be. Has anyone ever seen or noticed anything like this in the past? Could it be from the anesthesia or something he caught while there overnight? I'm kind of worried for my little guy. He's just over 7 months old now. Thanks!
A:I'd bring him in... Eye things are not something I mess with on my own.
A:Ditto what Prin said.
Are you sure it isn't the third eye lid, the one that comes up during illness? But that is an actual lid, not just cloudiness, although thinner than the other two,
If it were, then it could be the anaesthetic wearing off. There's a skill to administering anaesthetic that all vets do not seem to have. Animals should come home tired, but not staggering. My male cats were usually done in the morning and by the time I picked them up in the evening, they were close to their normal selves.
I hope it's just a passing 'thing'.

A:Like the last post it might be the inner eyelid, but maybe but slim chance considering it's just one eye, but when they put an animal under anesthetic they put a gel on their eyes so they don't dry while they are under because their eyes dont shut, and i was thinking that maybe he had a reaction to it, but like I said if that were so you would think that it would affect both eyes, but it is important to see a vet before things can get worse.
