right eye is half-closed and teary with clear and yellow discharge. It’s also really red. I’ve been away because I recently had surgery and just came back to this.
It sounds like your cat is experiencing significant discomfort with her eye, given the redness, tearing, discharge, and squinting. These symptoms can be indicative of several issues, such as conjunctivitis (an eye infection), a foreign body in the eye, or even an underlying viral infection like feline herpesvirus or calicivirus.
For immediate home care, you can gently wipe away any discharge from her eye using a clean, damp cloth or sterile saline solution. Make sure to use a separate cloth for each eye if both are affected to prevent any potential spread of infection.
Given that these symptoms have been ongoing for a week and are accompanied by lethargy and inappropriate urination, it is crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. The veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination and provide the appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiviral medications if an infection is present.
