Hi, everyone. I haven't posted in a long time but I have a stray I've been feeding and providing shelter for nearly two years. "Gatsby" finally allowed himself to be trapped about a month ago. At the vet, he was neutered, given a rabies shot, and his mattering, mucus-draining eyes treated with antibiotics mixed with his food because I would not be able to use drops on him. He's friendly, but only the petting variety. The vet did not seem overly-concerned about his eyes. Gatsby is my first TNR. I've been able to keep indoors the others (three of them) and adopt out the others. Recently, he went missing for nearly a week and returned this morning and ate two cans of cat food before running off again. His eyes look bad - actually worse. He is squinting in the first picture because the flash went off on my camera. I'm wondering if anyone else here has had cats with this issue. It looks like some form of conjunctivitis but the mucus is thick and green and it's staining the sides of his nose now. When I took him to the vet, the mucus covered one eye completely, but cleared up with the daily med. I suspect this is viral. I've sent these pictures to the vet.
