My cat has a lot of red eye discharge from his right eye - hes had it for while now - month or longer, but I just assumed it was nothing to be worried about since he seems fine, and his third eyelid hasnt come out or anything..

But I did pull his eyes open today, and though his third eyelid isnt out, it is red compared to his left eye.

Could it be allergies or something? I have a similar problem in my left eye, its been really itchy this summer, and is often red as a result...

Why would eye discharge be red? theres often quite a lot of it too... do cats get conjunctivitis?

He needs to be seen by a vet. It is likely an eye infection, but only your vet can make the determination.
