Help, something is wrong with my cats eye?

-I noticed yesterday that my cat was squinting, and he had this mucusy/watery stuff coming out of his eye. I don't really know what to do, I know what you are going to say, Take him to the vet, but first off it's saturday, and secdond I just asked my grandma, and she said she cannot afford it at the moment. My dad was going to put eye drops in the eye yesterday, but I stopped him, because I do not know if it would be safe. I don't know what is wrong with him. It could be he has a scratch in his eye, because my other cat does not like him, but I'm really not sure. Help me.Try putting a warm cloth around the eye area, and clean away any mucus coming from your cat's eye. Then try and see if you can notice anything that might be in his eye, maybe he has gotten a hair in there. If he continues to have mucus coming out of his eye, you may need to take him to a vet. However, I would continue to use the warm cloth for a few days, morning and night and see if this will help to clear it up. If your cat does not to seem bothered by his eye, it is probably nothing to be alarmed with and should clear up on its own.most likely an eye scratch or irritation. But if he starts to sneeze then he might have an upper respiratory infection. I wouldn't worry about it unless it doesn't stop. If it doesn't stop then you can try L-lysine and it will help with his eye.
Try wiping/holding a warm wet cloth over the cats eye, gently. It will help to wipe away any infection on the outside and try to soak up stuff that's in the eye. Try this once every couple hours.
It could be something as simple as an allergy, making his eye water. Cats can be allergic to things just like we are, and not that the house is closed up with A/C & fans on, it's easier for eyes to get dust, lint, or "dry eye"......making the tear ducts work overtime.



Out of 11 indoor, cats, I have ONE whose eyes water ( get goopy "boogers" next to the nose ), and I just take a soft tissue and clean them. A damp cloth works better, but she doesn't want me to mess with her, so I "catch" her whenever I can, and use whatever's handy.



I NEVER put drops in any of my cats' eyes.....just clean whenever needed.



If your cat's eye doesn't get any better, or gets worse, he'll need to go to the vet....to get some "proper" drops for animals......



Hope this helps, and he feels better soon........Good luck.
