If Kali just has some Greyish clear discharge then it is likely just allergies and you can use some artificial tears twice a day to help flush it out. If the discharge is green or yellow then something more serious could be going on like a corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye and other issues. If the discharge is colored or she is favoring the eye the I would ha e your vet look at her. Your vet will be able to examine the eye and do some different to tests to see what meds might be needed, if any. I hope this helps!
