My little runty boy Max always gets eye boogers that are reddish black. His nose always accumulates a dark almost black booger as well.
At his last vet visit the Vet did not seem concerned about this and indicated that some cats have this problem. We just clean his eyes and nose daily but it seems like we can't get rid of some of the staining on his eyelids. He also just really hates having his face cleaned every day.
He is active and playful and the eye boogers don't seem to bother him. I'm just concerned because the one eye seems to have a lot more drainage than the other eye.
He is going Saturday to the vaccination clinic for his next round of shots so while I trust my normal vet, I may ask the vet at the clinic what she thinks as well.
In the meantime do any of you have cats with reddish black eye boogers. I have heard that some breads get this like Persians but this is the first time I have seen a normal old tabby house cat with it. Should I be more worried?
