For approx. the past 2 hours, my cat's right eye has become weepy, and she can not open it in the light. It began rather abruptly and looks slightly red, which appears to be from rubbing & irritation. In a darkened room she is able to open it, but in the light she shuts it almost immediately and it starts to weep. I did notice she has been making sneezing noises this week, which I haven't heard since she was a kitten...I was also using cleaning products around the house today, but have never seen this reaction from her. Her behavior has been the same (playful, eating, drinking etc.), and physically I didn't notice any other differences. I tried to flush her eye with water, but it's difficult to hold onto her and hold her eye open at the same time. Right now she is asleep - should I be worried or is eye irritation common? Should I flush it with something?
