My cat seems to have a painful eye, it's squinting and producing discharge.

[]

Answer

A painful, squinting eye with discharge in a cat requires prompt veterinary attention. Eye problems can escalate quickly and lead to permanent vision damage if not treated. Common causes include corneal ulcers, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the pink membranes around the eye), foreign bodies in the eye, or even trauma. Do not try to treat it yourself with human eye drops, as some can be harmful to cats. An accurate diagnosis and specific treatment plan from a veterinarian are crucial. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, but often an in-person exam is needed for eye issues.
