Poor Majic! Unfortunately, if the eye is infected, there is nothing you can buy over-the-counter that will help - eye infections require prescription antibiotic drops to treat. You can try rinsing the eye with plain saline eye wash and using a soft washcloth or cotton ball to wipe away any discharge, which may help make her more comfortable until you can get her in to see a vet. If costs are an issue, you may want to look for a low-cost SPCA clinic in your area, or apply online for Care Credit (a payment plan accepted by most vet clinics): www.carecredit.com
