I recommend to have Meeka examined by her veterinarian. Green/yellow discharge indicates a bacterial infection. If it has been present for more than a few days, it's likely she needs some antibiotics to clear the infection. Make sure to protect the eye from rubbing. She may need to wear an elizabethan collar at all times. Best of luck.
