Poor Zoey! No, please don't put contact solution in her eye - this will not help to treat the problem, and may burn and cause additional discomfort. Brown or yellow discharge like this is usually a sign of an eye infection, or a corneal injury of some kind such as a scratch or ulcer. I would recommend taking Zoey to the vet today for an exam - he/she can use a special stain to check for any injuries to the eye, and will likely prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointment to treat the problem.

It sounds like to me it could be an infection. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take Zoey into a vet today. Best of luck.
