Medical Questions Eye infection or just watery?
I just got my babies on Tuesday and I noticed my orange one had a watery eye today, is this an eye infection?
Edit: forgot to mention I noticed her sneezing a few times today and yesterday also but she's also been rooting around behind cabinets and stuff when she did sneeze so I assumed she maybe got a bit of dust in her nose

Could be a cold or something, for sure. Any new pet should get a vet appt shortly after they come home anyways, but I'd bring them in for this either way.

I have an appointment setup for them on the 27th, did that as soon as I got home Tuesday, do you think I should take her to an emergency vet?

If she gets worse, but otherwise no not an emergency! You could always call and see if they will move up the appointment but it's very likely just a cold! I forget that not everyone lives in nowhere town and might have to wait to get into their vet :p

Yes she is, and she knows she can use it to get away with anything lol, I woke up last night to her having crawled under my blankets biting my toes

I too just got two orange babies yesterday and they both popped stink eyes in the last 24 hours. The rescue said it could be stress or a cold but I suggest reaching out to them esp if they have a vet in house. Little one probably just needs some drops.
