I know that I need to schedule a vet exam for my newly adopted kitty (Morrell), however I have a question that I'd like to throw out there to you cat experts.
Morrell has a weepy eye. The woman at the Humane Society told me about it beforehand and said that they tried some eye drops and to no avail, the problem persisted.
It seems to be one-sided. I tried to wipe his eye with a warm/wet cloth and the discharge is brownish-red.
He is a very timid cat (still hiding out in my basement) and I'm not sure how long it will be before I can handle him well enough to place him in his carrier. I think I'll be able to do drops though. I just applied some Frontline (had to get creative as he was rolling all over the place and wouldn't hold still!) I practically had to sit on him.
Any ideas of what he might have wrong with his poor eye?
