About how often do you find mucus in your cats eye(s)? :shock:

I'd say about every 3-4 days I might see some, or what I assume is dried up crusties like when we wake up in the morning. Hopefully this is normal, it's not a lot like from an infection, or maybe it's a sign I need to dust more

Well, my kittens always seem to have a tiny bit of gunk. I feel the need to clean it about every other day. In all other ways they are healthy--never sneeze, cough, the goo doesn't run, and the vet says they are fine. If the cat is otherwise healthy, I wouldn't worry.

If it's mucousy/runny, it could be an illness and he should be seen by the vet.

Reguardless when is he due for a check up perhaps you could discuss it then.

If he seems to get this frequently it could be hepitits.

But really right about now with out knowing/seeing more details who knows

Of course, not being vets, we would only see the obvious, excessive amount of mucous. I don't see a dried, crusty look to the mucous on my cats' eyes.

That is funny! :lol:
Seriously though, Velvet has always had an little eye gunk problem. I clean it off with a tissue on a regular basis. She has gotten used to it and actually doesn't seem to mind it at all. She has never shown signs of infection and only very rarely sneezes. I mentioned it to the vet early on and she wasn't concerned, seemed to think it was pretty normal. I would certainly discuss it with your vet at your cat's next check-up though.

Hi all !

Our cat Alfie has a discharge from his left eye from time to time and he's had this discharge since we had from the cat rescue centre. He doesn't sneeze, he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort but I was wondering if it would be worth while getting it checked by a vet anyway? He does have a dried gunk round his eye occasionally. Any advice please?

Thx

Regards

Hello Aine .

Thanks for the advice about this problem, as I've said Alfie seems fine in himself as a matter of fact he is at the moment driving me nuts because it's almost his tea time lol lol

Thanks Again

Well, best get cracking, then, and put the kettle on! Are you near Exeter? That's where my cousins live. Well, I'm away then, dear! Give Alphie a wee pat from the States!
