Cat squinting with eye discharge
My sister’s cat sometimes gets a squinty eye, but it always goes away within a day. She developed one again a few days ago, which didn’t clear up as quickly, and I started to get worried. I woke up yesterday and her eye was completely back to normal, but it got worse today again. The eye is nearly completely closed and there is white discharge and some liquid that looks like of like a tear(?) around the eye. 664
Her other eye is also beginning to develop a squint, I believe, as well as produce the tear-like liquid, as she isn’t opening it as wide as usual. I’m worried that she can’t see, as she’s become irritated and her behavior is a bit odd. I’m terrified that she might be in pain; I tried to take a closer look but she was very resistant. I’m thinking the vet is the right place to go for this, but I’m a teenager without a car. Should I wait another day or two to see if it clears up, or is her health at risk here and a vet visit is needed ASAP? 664
