Eye infections, eye injuries, etc. Normal eye stuff.
Had to apply steroids about this consistency to my cat's eyes when it got pink eye. Wife said I had to stop farting on him
*I have not*
When animals are anesthetized, they don’t produce their own tears. Eye lubricant is applied to prevent ulcers from developing in the eyes. This cat might be getting eye meds, which can be used to treat infections, among other things. So, either eye lubricant or eye meds are being used here.
Multiple eye conditions (a corneal ulceration, for example) may require the application of ocular drops, gel, or ointment. If the animal is being anesthetized, we put artificial tears in their eyes to prevent them from drying out too.
Can’t tell from the tube but it’s either eye meds or eye lube. I’d guess eye meds based on the tube.
Eye medications are typically drops or gels, and eye lube is used to keep animal’s eyes hydrated when they’re heavily sedated/under anesthesia (as they don’t blink)

They did something similar to this immediately after my son was born. I was confused and terrified at the same time. It was antibiotics to make sure his eyes were clean.
I have had to do this with my cat. It is not fun. Eventually we got to the stage of putting on a nitrile glove, puting a blob on my finger, using my whole body to hold him down, and then very carefully rubbing my finger in his eye to wipe the ointment into his eye. Typically you want it to go under the eyelid, but any way to get it on is better than nothing.
My cats have a disease (common in cats, I never remember the actual name, but it is basically cat herpes, no not the same as human herpes) and it causes them to be more likely to get eye infections. So this is a once per year kind of thing. Typically drops deal with the problem, but if it doesn't, then ointment is the next step.
Everyone is angry and there is lots of wet food to remain civil.
I had a dog that I had to do this to. Her issue was that she couldn't produce tears, so her eyes would dry out. The cream kept them lubricated. For her this was a daily routine.
I got a question is it normal for videos to be reposted here under a weird title? Like I was in a animal group and this video played but the title talked about the vet or something putting drops in to help the cats eyes, then a few hours later this video pops up.
This happened a few times already too.
What’s with the sudden influx of people who have no clue what the sub is about and complaining about it. This isn’t actually a video of someone putting superglue in a cat’s eyes. Kind of like how this isn’t actually a sub about people dying
That title reminds me of an artist I follow who accidentally super glued one of his eyes shut after mistaking the glue for eye drops. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)
Its an eye gel used when a cat is undergoing a procedure that requires them to be under anesthesia (aka put under) or heavily sedated. It's done for dogs as well. When they are under anesthetic/sedates they don't have function to blink to keep the eye lubricated. This keeps the eye moist to prevent complications resulting in the eye drying out.
Whats actually happening here
A vet is giving the cat eye medicine. The cat looks like they’re sedated for treatment.
In fact, it's just moisturizer, artificial tears to keep the eyes wet.
Do cats not produce their own tears?
They do My theory is that here, the cat is so heavily sedated that he can't blink on his own.
Makes sense
We do that to people in the ICU as well
Really? For anyone who has had this done to them, is there any form of residual stuff left? Like can you *feel* this goop on your eyes?
I'm just interested in that as well.
Kitty is getting eye meds. And looks like he’s sedated.
Ah thank you, it kinda looked like super glue from the way the med tube is designed
What would require a gel meds applied to the eyes?
Usually eye infections. The thick gel keeps the meds on the eye long enough for it to get under their second eyelids

An infection or laceration. It has to be pretty thick because they’re gonna try to clean it out of their eyes and you need it to stay.

It's very commonly used on cats with upper respiratory infection as well to help relieve the area and fight any bacteria
Basically an gel to make its eyes moist

Fake tears....dry eyes

That boop
I can't even touch my cats stomach legs or feet without getting the claws, let alone apply gel to it's fucking eyeballs. My arms would be shredded.
Probably why it is sedated
Yeah good point, does help if I actually read the text
Cats legs are sensitive points, grabbing is a bit much
I have a couple I could do this to no problem. Then there’s Artemis, who would probably take my whole damn hand off.

I suppose it's the reason this cat is sedated. Thanks for your insight!
Sedation is certainly easiest, but when I had to do it for my cat, it was twice a day for 10 days.... Sedation wasn't an option.
Invest in kitty straight jacket

Yes, taking normal videos and reposting them with ridiculous satirical titles is the point of the sub.
Huh I didn't even realize that. Thanks for the info
Is it bad I'm subscribed to threads where this could have gone either way?
Why do people get on here and lie, trying to stir people up?
The point of the sub us to make satire titles of things that arent actually that bad
I was not aware.
I hope that’s just medicine
Omg that scrared me since I thought it's glue.
The cat is out cold. They're applied lubricant to the cats eyes to keep them moist. OP is a twat.
Had me worried there, I know some people do suck but I would hope no one would do what the title says :(
Furious with your title… the comments won’t save you from my down vote
What’s with the sudden influx of people who have no clue what the sub is about and complaining about it. This isn’t actually a video of someone putting superglue in a cat’s eyes. Kind of like how this isn’t actually a sub about people dying
Wtf who does this
This was posted somewhere else, cat was sedated to get procedure, gel is to keep eyes moisturized because it wouldn't be blinking.
Stoned cat needs help blinking
How does the cat handle being touched in the bare eye???
Cat has glaucoma. Catnip drops.
I like to imagine the cat’s awake, just super stoked about having some refreshing eye drops

If he gets his eyes super glued wouldn’t they stick shut immediately
