If a cat has tears and secretions from its eyes, first of all, you must consider whether it is stimulated by external environmental factors. Generally, removing the cause and using pet anti-inflammatory eye drops can slowly restore the cat to health. Secondly, you must consider the infection of viruses, bacteria and parasites. In this case, except Eye drops must also be combined with antibiotics and medications targeting the cause.
1. Stimulation by external environmental factors
There are many factors in the environment that are likely to become allergens for cats, such as pollen, insect bites, dust mites, fresheners, cosmetics, perfume, etc., which may cause irritation. Cat's eyes cause tears and produce discharge. In this case, the owner must first remove the causative factors in the cat's environment, and then treat the cat's eyes. If foreign matter enters, it needs to be rinsed with saline, and then the eyes are dropped with pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops every day.
2. Infectious factors
Viruses, bacteria and parasites may cause infection when they come into contact with the eyes, leading to inflammation of the conjunctiva. Common early symptoms include tearing and increased secretions. Eye abnormalities caused by infection often develop into serious consequences, possibly causing corneal ulcers or even blindness. It is recommended that owners go to the hospital for PCR testing of related viruses and bacteria after discovering abnormalities in the cat's eyes. Currently, pet hospitals have "respiratory joint testing" that can detect multiple viral infections at the same time to check whether they are infected with viruses and bacteria. After diagnosis, use the corresponding Antibiotic drug treatment combined with eye drops is sufficient.
In addition, some cats are not dewormed regularly and become infected after contact with the outside world. Possible infection with eye nematodes can stimulate conjunctival inflammation in cats, accompanied by the production of tears and increased secretions. In the later stages of development, the owner can even see the "surging" of nematodes in the conjunctival sac to the naked eye, and the cat needs to be taken to a pet hospital for surgical treatment in time.
