Hello, and thank you in advance for reading this! :-3
My youngest cat, Luna, is about 8 months old. I've had her since last summer, and she is a riot! She has a regular vet she visits, and the vet has never seemed worried or concerned about her weird eye problem she's always had since I adopted her. I should give a little back story about her: She was an abandoned alley cat (literally found in an alley dumpster), all by her lonesome self. We also think she is a runt because she is on the small side. So she must have spent some of her early days living on her own.
Her eyes are asymmetrical - one is smaller/larger than the other. It's pretty noticeable. The smaller eye, most days, tends to have a large amount of clear discharge that runs down her cheek. She never seems annoyed by it, but my older cat, Stella (2 years old), likes to clean it occasionally. I have never noticed an odor from it, it just looks like tears to me. But there always seems to be a lot of it. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to happen while she is sleeping.
Again, my vet never seemed concerned about it. I recall her even saying "It is something she should grow out of" - but after this much time has passed, and nothing has changed, I am starting to really wonder if that is the case.
Does anyone know anything about this?
If need be, I can take a picture of her eye(s)... (although she hates having her picture taken, such a diva!)
Again, thank you!
