Cat poked me in the eye

my 10 week old kitten just poked me in the eye. No Scratches thankfully, but what are the risks? Using eye drops and they seem to be working- Should I see a doctor about it though?

This exact thing happened to me while playing w/..you guessed it, Bob, when he was a kitten. I had to go to the dr and she put some sort of fluorescent dye on my eye to ck the damage and gave me some drops and that was it. I had a little ruptured blood vessel, though.  If your drops are working you should be fine-just watch for signs of inf; w/an eye they'll be readily apparent: itching, redness and discharge.

Hi bongo, and welcome...My kitty has got me in the eye before, too.  I know exactly what you mean.  If your eye is feeling better with the drops, then I wouldn't worry. :)
