You are in a very difficult situation with mommy kitty. Most of the time if a cat has discharge it is related to an infection. Most infections need eye drops to resolve. I would try and take mommy kitty into a vet to determine if the eye needs medications. It is possible that maybe oral antibiotics will help with the eye but you will still have to catch her to administer the oral medications. I hope momma kitty starts feeling better soon
