If you observe the overflowing of tears from your friend’s eyes, there is nothing to worry about in the first place. Tears act as a shield, protecting, cleansing, and moisturizing the eye. However, in some cases, it is worth paying attention.

Your pet friend may have scratched its eye while playing with its toys or fighting with other pets. In this case, eye discharge is normal. Drops or gels to clean the inside of the eye may work in the first place, but if there is a possibility of a deep scratch that crosses the cornea (deeper scratches will cause this), you should visit a veterinarian. If your house is very dusty, or the litter you use is dusty, if the house is sprayed with different fragrances, or if there is smoking in the house, your pet’s eyes will tear. Your pet may be struggling with an upper respiratory infection called “cat flu”. This is highly likely if fever, vomiting, and diarrhea are observed in addition to eye discharge. It could be ‘Pink Eye Disease’, which is especially common in kittens and cats with low immunity and can persist for life. To suppress this and not invite other diseases, it is necessary to follow the vaccination schedule. It is necessary to clean the eyes with sterile water twice a week; do this cleaning using gauze instead of cotton or napkins, and perform sterile cleaning by only using the gauze to wipe an area once before using a clean piece.
