Reasons Why A Cat’s Eyes May Appear Watery

 

Most young cats acquire respiratory diseases. This disease is common among young ones with the virus as the main reason. There are not a lot of treatments for anti-virus, so the owner has to give supportive care to help the kitten get better. Fortunately, the young cat has a strong immune system to ward off respiratory disease.

Feline herpes virus is another respiratory virus.  It can cause eye irritation in cats. The other manifestations of the feline herpes virus are excessive tearing and partially closing of the eyelid. This condition is also called blepharospasm.

Fortunately, the infection will go away eventually. However, if the cat develops a yellowish or greenish discharge it is probably a sign of a serious health condition. The eye discharge could come from a corneal ulcer or bacterial infection. When the cat starts to produce discharge, it is time to bring the cat to your animal hospital Sarasota, FL for appropriate medical attention.
