Should a Cat’s Eye Discharge Be Cleaned Daily?

If your cat produces a lot of eye discharge every day, wipe it clean daily. Normally a cat does not secrete much; heavy discharge may indicate internal heat. Too much salt in the food causes heat and excess discharge, so adjust the diet to light, digestible food and give more water.

Also, conditions like keratitis, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, or entropion cause excess discharge. Treat the specific cause accordingly.
