My cat has white eye discharge in morning, no other symptoms. Is it serious?

Question

For the past two mornings my cat has had white discharge only from the corner of her right eye. Later in the day seems to resolve. No eye redness or other apparent symptoms and she is otherwise acting normal. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 years old | 9 lbs

A minor amount of discharge is normal and at this point you can likely monitor the eye. Watch for any redness to the eye, green/yellow discharge, sneezing or squinting. Have Coco see the veterinarian if this is noted. Otherwise make sure to gently keep the eyes clean. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
