Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed
My cat has a discharge in her right eye. It is yellow/orange in color, and has been ongoing for about 3 days. I clean the drainage with tissues dampened in water occasionally, I'm worried it hasn't resolved yet, although I haven't noticed any other symptoms, she is otherwise behaving her normal self.

It appears it is infected and seems a little red and inflamed. This may be some conjunctivitis from a virus or an allergy. You may need to see your vet about prescription eye drops with an antibiotics

It's very likely to be an eye infection as it is very common in kittens, you need to take him to the vet ASAP as he will need a prescription antibiotic eye ointment and possibly a course of oral antibiotics too. failure to treat this type of eye infection usually leads to blindness in the affected eye.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kitty. Yes, I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. Yellow discharge can indicate an eye infection. If so, he will likely need an eye ointment or drop to treat it. I hope this information helps!
