Cat eye wet and drippy

If the kitty is still having  the runny eye after a couple of days or is rubbing at it, you should have it checked out.  Cats can encounter many things in the coarse of a day, especially if they go outside.  There is a possibilty kitty got something in the eye that is causing irritation which in turn causes the eye to run.  If he rubs his eye, he can scratch the eye and cause more problems.

Another possibilty can be an infection of some kind which would mean a trip to the vet for some medication.  There is nothing that you can safely use from your own medicine cabinet to treat an eye problem.

If you have any concerns regarding exposure to your son you can check with his doctor.
