My cat has clear eye gunk and is wheezing. What could be wrong?

Hello I have a black cat 4 years old and he has clear gunk/discharge coming out of his eye and when he breaths it sounds like he is wheezing only when he is settled though. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 2 months old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. The wheezing could be due to a respiratory condition such as asthma or among other lung diseases but it is unlikely to be related to the eye discharge. I highly recommend that you have Tuna evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
