Thanks for reaching out to PetCoach. If you specifically would like to have a consultation with Andrea Brodie, I recommend you click "consultations" at the top of the page and start a consultation with her. I'm sure she would be happy to discuss your concerns with Luffy. As far as the eye discharge goes, I would start by rinsing the eyes with a saline solution twice a day. This can be purchased in most grocery or drug stores near the contact lens supplies. Or you can purchase online here: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18563 If the discharge becomes green or yellow, or the eyes appear painful (squinting), then I strongly encourage a visit to your veterinarian to make sure nothing concerning is going on. Dark yellow urine is very normal and a sign that the kidneys are functioning well. If you think Luffy isn't drinking enough you can always add water to the food, but dark, concerntrated urine is quite normal.
