Bulging eyes in cats
Bulging eyes in cats is considered an emergency. If you notice your cat’s eyes are bulging or swelling or have changed position, contact your vet immediately.
Bulging eyes occur when one or both eyeballs appear enlarged, or when normal-sized eyes protrude abnormally from the socket. This is a veterinary emergency, as some causes can rapidly lead to vision loss if not treated promptly.
Bulging may affect one or both eyes, sometimes unevenly. The altered appearance may result from changes in the size or position of the affected eye(s). Common causes include trauma or serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma or retrobulbar disease (problems behind the eye). A prompt veterinary examination is essential to identify the cause and to prevent pain or permanent vision loss.
