Thank you submitting your question regarding Missy. Yes, it is likely that she has a cherry eye based on your photo. She could have an infection with it and even altered tear productio causing the discharge. She will need to see her veterinarian especially as it sounds like she is not feeling well. In the meantime, do not allow her to paw at her eye. I hope this information helps!
