Hi, my 5-month old cat/kitten (Remo) has a brown to semi-clear discharge in its left eye that gets quite globby after a few days. He has a very small, almost imperceptable squint in the eye, but doesn't appear red, cloudy or any other ominous signs. I am guessing he has had it for a week or two, and his brother (Sebastian) is unaffected. Any ideas?

He's going to the vet in a few weeks anyway to get fixed but want to know if I should go in ahead of time. Thanks in advance...

Hello. Welcome to the site. Yes, I would take your kitty to the vet sooner than his actual appt. It would be best if you could take him in sometime this week. Keep us posted.

It could be from a lot of things. My cats eye does something similar b/c of a birth defect, but it can also be from an infection. You should take him in soon. If it is an infection he could pass it to Sebastian.

MY 2 YR OLD HAS ALWAYS HAD THIS AND IT WAS DETERMANINED TO BE A FORM OF HERPES. HE DOES GET SWALLON AND RED AT TIMES BUT ALAWYS HAS GUNCK IN THE LEFT EYE.
I WAS TOLD TO PUT 500MG OF L~LYSINE DAILY INTO FOOD AND RX FOR EUTHERSMISON(SP/).hE STILL GETS FLAIR UPS EVERY OTHER MONTH FOR A DAY OR TWO ONLY.
