My cat has some brown discharge from his right eye. It has been ongoing for the past few months but recently has become worse and more noticeable. I also noticed some yellow discharge which then crusts over. What do you think it might be and what are the treatment options

Hi there. Simba could have a bacterial or viral infection, or something within his eyelid that is irritating the eye and causing the discharge. I would recommend having him checked by your vet. They will be able to test the eye and look for a cause, as well as prescribe meds to get it cleared up. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
