My cat's good eye is weeping. What causes it and what should I do?

Pet's info: Cat | American Bobtail Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 13.3 lbs

Nick has had eye problems since i picked him up out of a parking lot. We've had one eye removed and he recovered from that just fine. I want to know why his "good eye" is still weeping. It's been on going for a year now. What do I do, please help me.

Hi, and thanks for your question. Although a picture would help to determine the underlying cause more specifically, that is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an allergy or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
