She is well oover 3 years old now, the last one left, after her two sisters both died in January.
She seems to be doing well on her own, but I noticed just now her right eye is swollen and sore, red with red crusty bits.
I cannot get her to a vets until Tuesday because Monday is a bank holiday in the UK and vets generally don't open on Sunday
What can I do until then to help her eye?
please help, thanks...

If she gets to bad you may have to see the emergancy vet.
have you cange her bedding at all reasently, she could be alergic. Of if the tank over due a clean maybe there to much unrine about and irritating the eye, is there anything she could have calt the eye on.
only thing I can think of is wiping the eye gelty with warm water, untill you can see a vet on tuesday.
