Patch

Is there anywhere I can buy an eyepatch for my cat?

My parent's cat just lost an eye to glacuoma; is there anywhere I can buy an eyepatch made for cats?

1. Have you tried pet stores. I would check out (on-line sites) like pet smart, petco, places like that. I don't know how she did it, but a friend of mine got a glass eye for her pet. Probably through vet connections.
2. Petco or Petsmart would probably have one or ask your vet.
3. Take the cat to the vet, they may have an eyepatch.
4. Any vet clinic should have something like that, although if the cat's eye was removed at the vets it should be stitched shut anyway. If the eye open and unsightly, you could always ask the vet to stitch it shut so it won't look bad. It's what is usually done when an animal's eye is lost.
5. I don't think a cat would leave an eyepatch on. Once the surgical site heals and the vet removes the bandages, if any, it won't need any protection. Humans wear eyepatches out of self-consciousness about their appearance (which cat's don't have) or to look like a pirate.
6. I agree with most of the answers petco or vet. If not try a local eye doctor maybe they would have suggestion.
7. stuff it with wool
