This eye looks really bad and I can't tell you how to treat it since we don't know the cause. Cancer is a strong possibility, as well as severe bacterial or viral infection, a foreign body under the eyelid, autoimmune disease, eosinophilic inflammatory disease, etc. Meaow needs to see a vet to get relief.
