Cat Information

red/brown discharge from my cats eye. 11 year old cat, has had this forever. cats health is very good. HELP !?

cat never goes outside. i think its the result of a fight with its litter mate, who i also put up with. i think i see an abnormality with its bottom eye lid. i just never remember to ask the vet about it. all other aspects of this cats health are way above average. except that its a lil butterball.

1. Foonman, if your cat's had this forever, why on earth have you not taken it (him? her?) to the vet? If your eye had been injured in a fight with a sibling and had been discharging blood "forever," wouldn't you have been to a doctor? Come on, do the right thing. Be a responsible pet owner and get this animal the care it needs.
2. The discharge could be from many things. Cold, Scratched eye, turned in eyelash, dirt being naturally washed from the eye. Chances are it's nothing too serious. I'd give it a few days and if by monday it's not any better take it to the vet.
3. Maybe call the vet and tell him what the symptoms are. He might suggest an inexpensive over the counter ointment that you could use.
