1. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is very easily treated with medications from the vet 2. I'm not sure if you are asking if there should be discharge from the eye after treatment finishes or if discharge can occur while treating. It would be helpful if you posted again with more clarification so I or another expert can help you. 3. No home remedies for pink eye. 4. Have him seen by a vet. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with them should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss.
