Hi there and thanks for your post! It sounds like Poppy may be dealing with an infection, either eye or upper respiratory infection. Many cats develop upper respiratory infection symptoms due to herpes virus that they were exposed to as kittens. If the eye is discharging and she is uncomfortable, I would get her examined by the vet to ensure there is nothing serious going on. If this is an infection, your vet can prescribe the appropriate antibiotics / treatments. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via text / phone consultation if needed.
