Your cat's droopy eye and discharge may be signs of irritation or a possible infection. While she seems normal otherwise, these symptoms should not be overlooked.
- Monitor for changes in the eye's condition or additional symptoms.
- Consider if there were any recent exposures to irritants.
- Contact a vet if the symptoms persist or worsen.
It's common for cats to experience temporary eye issues from dust or minor irritants. However, if there is persistent discharge, swelling, or your cat starts acting unusually, it could indicate an infection or other underlying condition that requires attention. It's best to have it assessed by a veterinary professional for peace of mind and appropriate care.
