What to do for my cat's eye discharge, fur loss, and red spots?

Question

Hi, for the past few days, my cat has had a clear semi-mucous-y discharge coming from her eye, which I assumed was just common cold symptoms, so I brushed it off. Now it seems to be eroding the fur where the discharge is, and even little red spots are visible if you look close enough. What should I do? I have been cleaning it for the past few days with a warm towel. If it matters at all, she just got over having small nasal lesions which self-healed; vet could not give an exact diagnosis. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much. If she is tolerating you wiping it, just clean it as needed with with a warm wet cotton ball. If she is pawing at her eyes or rubbing her face on the ground, or seems to have any other issue going on, call your vet and get her in for an exam. This product may help, though I doubt its entirely necessary. Thanks for asking PetCoach!
