Why does a cat’s eyes have watery eyes and a lot of secretions?

Eyes are a very important organ for cats. On the one hand, they reveal their beauty, and on the other hand, they are also one of the organs that communicate with us humans. We often find a lot of interesting things in a cat’s eyes, such as the cat’s emotions. Changes, etc., so if the cat’s eyes are inflamed, tearful, or have excessive eye feces, they must be treated urgently.

Cats’ eyes have various functions, including being able to see clearly even in the dark, and being able to quickly measure distances, etc. For cats, eyes are an important organ. Eye abnormalities should be detected early. There are many reasons for cats to have watery eyes and excessive feces. On the one hand, it may be caused by inflammation caused by improper feeding. On the other hand, it may be symptoms of eye diseases, such as lacrimation, entropion, ectropion, conjunctivitis, and keratitis. , ophthalmia neonatorum, etc.

How to treat?

Dysphoria often occurs when there is excessive tearing and abnormal lacrimal glands. Persian cats with small noses and small faces sometimes suffer from this disease. This disease is closely related to the shape of the eyes and nose. If the inner side of the lower eyelid turns brown due to tears, you should ask a doctor to check it.
Entropion occurs when the eyelids turn inward, and ectropion occurs when the eyelids turn outward. Cats rarely develop ectropion, while entropion is often congenital. In addition, some cats’ eyelashes can rub against the cornea, which can cause blindness if left alone. It is better to seek treatment before the condition becomes serious. Consult a doctor before treatment.

Ophthalmia neonatorum

Excessive tears, abnormal tear outlet or entropion of the eyelids, eyelashes irritating the cornea, ectropion of the eyelids, etc., leading to tears and excessive eye feces.

Conjunctivitis and keratitis

Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes is conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis can occur for many reasons, including allergies, viral infection, or trauma. There are many treatments available, ranging from eye washing to surgery. Keratitis is a disease of the thin cornea on the pupil surface. Like conjunctivitis, keratitis has many causes and treatments, including vitamin A or antibiotics, surgery, and more.
Whatever the case may be, eye problems can develop quickly and have many causes. Once you find eye abnormalities, you should take your cat to the hospital as soon as possible for early treatment.
In addition, incorrect use of drugs may accelerate the worsening of serious conditions, so it is better to consult a doctor before use.

Entropion of eyelids

Entropion of the eyelids in cats is uncommon. The cause of the disease is usually caused by the inversion of the lower eyelid structure at the outer corner of the eye, which irritates the eyeball. Spasm of the eyelid muscles leads to more severe tearing, corneal damage, eyelid involution, etc. Surgery is an effective method to correct entropion of the eyelids.
The key point of surgery is to correct appropriately. The result of correction must be to correct varus and not overcorrect and cause valgus. I often use tissue forceps to remove the skin that needs to be trimmed. Of course, the closer the skin is to the eyelid margin, the better, and the degree of trimming is determined by comparison. Most eye surgeries are disinfected with 75% alcohol, and there is no need to stop bleeding. Bleeding can be controlled after suturing.

Eyelid ectropion

Cat eyelid ectropion is caused by trauma such as bites and traffic accidents. Treatment for ectropion requires surgery as soon as possible before the cornea is damaged or the damage is not serious to avoid permanent damage to the cat’s eyes.
Some parents believe that there is no major problem with cat eyelid ectropion, and the symptoms of these diseases can be observed from the appearance. When you find that your pet cat has ectropion of eyelids, it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for examination in time. With the help of a veterinarian, you can prescribe some eye drops and other drugs to wipe the cat. Of course, during the treatment process, you should actively cooperate with the veterinarian’s decision and follow the veterinarian’s arrangements to give the cat scientific medication.
