The most common clinical symptoms of conjunctivitis in cats include: redness, swelling, congestion, tears, unwilling to open your eyes, and increased secretions in some of the eyes. The secretions in the eyes are possible from white mucus to yellow-green mucus. Some cats will scratch their eyes, which will further lead to eye discomfort. Sneezing and snot sometimes occur simultaneously with eye lesions. Severe infections can lead to permanent scars in the cornea and conjunctiva, and some will affect the excretion of tears, which will eventually lead to long-term tear overflow.
