For a couple of days one of my cats (14 months old) has had a problem
with his left eye. At times he squints it and there is a small amount of
drainage or mucus in the lower corner of the eye.
The eye shows no sign of redness, nor any type of scratch mark, yet
the area where the drainage is located looks as if he might have been
scratched. (He and his brother love to wrestle each other).
I would say the eye stays squinted (about half closed) about 50% of
the time...more when I hold him up to look at it.
Just wondering if there is an over-the-counter type medication?
Should I try wiping the drainage away with a warm, wet, soft cloth?
Thanks for any suggestions.
