It's likely to be an eye infection although it could also be an eye injury or a foreign body in the eye. you need to take Tiger to the vet in order to get the eye checked first, then your vet can give you the treatment according to the diagnosis.

Green discharge generally indicates an infection. The most common reasons for infections are bacteria (like a pink eye) or a scratch to the eye. If Zeus is squinting the eye or has excessive tearing, or seems otherwise uncomfortable, I recommend to have him seen today. You can try rinsing his eye out with sterile saline daily. If he still has the discharge by Monday, then it's not likely to go away on it's own and he should be seen. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any further questions!
