With economic development, people’s living standards are improving. Many people can afford the cost of raising pets. Many choose to raise pet dogs or pet cats to soothe their lonely hearts. Cats are very agile and have excellent jumping ability. Since they can see clearly at night, they prefer to eat nocturnal animals like mice and fish. Although they can sometimes be a bit willful, they are very affectionate and like to stick close to their owners. They are loved by many families, but those who have raised cats should know that sometimes cats’ eyes easily secrete a lot of eye discharge, which many people do not understand well. Let’s learn about it together below.

In fact, every cat usually has some eye discharge, but generally, eye discharge is just a superficial phenomenon and actually hides some more important issues. At this time, the owner needs to take some measures.

The reason why cats have excessive eye discharge may be because they have heat excess (inflammation). It may be due to oily or too salty food, which can cause heat excess, leading to excessive eye discharge. In such cases, the owner should try to improve the cat’s diet and feed it lighter food. At the same time, it is also necessary to promptly deal with the cat’s eye discharge, using wet wipes or towels, etc. If the cat has keratitis or its eyelashes grow inward, these can irritate the eyes and cause eye discharge. We can use some professional eye drops to treat keratitis and use tweezers to prevent inward eyelash growth. If the cat has feline viral rhinotracheitis, this can also cause excessive eye discharge. But this situation is more serious, and I recommend seeking a doctor’s treatment promptly. In the early stages of this disease, we can supplement the cat with appropriate amino acids. For more serious cases, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. However, it is best to see a veterinarian.

If we choose cats as pets, we need to be responsible for them and care for them attentively. When they are sick, we must take them to see the doctor promptly and not arbitrarily administer our own medicine to cats.
