Questionmy cats eye was running yesterday and today it is still running and the inside white part is swollen and he seems a little listless do you have any idea what this may be?
AnswerIt is possible that your cat got a scratch in her eye. Or the start of conjuctivitis.
Here is a great link to numerous eye problems in cats and their explanations and suggestions. http://www.vetinfo4cats.com/cateye.html
Just cut and paste the link into your address bar.
Here is a home cure also:
C.J. Puotinen in "The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care" has an eyewash recipe that you can make and use with a dropper: calendula, chamomile or eyebright teas, or: equal parts of greater celandine, eyebright and St. John's Wort, pour 1 cup boiling water over 2 tsp blend, add a *teeny* pinch of cayenne (she claims it doesn't hurt), let it steep and filter it through a coffee filter, then add just enough sea salt to make it slightly saline like tears. Add two drops grapefruit seed extract per 1 cup tea. Use a dropper, or soak a cotton ball and rub her eye with it.
I personally don't use home remedies much because they are a lot of trouble. But some people don't use anything else for their pets.
