Tearing eye?
Hello everyone!
Spike, my 9 yo indoor male, has been having some what looks like tears coming out of one of his eyes - he has no other symptoms of anything - eye isn't red, he doesn't seem to mind us touching it, it isn't a constant tearing, and it is a slow, clear tear. I tried to find out info on the net, but all I could find was info on the herpes they get in their eyes, as well as other more serious eye problems and diseases. I was just wondering if this eye gunk is allergies or should I be more concerned? None of the others have this clear tear stuff, one of them has the regular run of the mill eye gunk and the other two are fine, occasionally getting eye gunk... Any ideas to what this is? Thanks! -- Christi Stampin' Up! Representative Art Without Anxiety www.ArtWithoutAnxiety.com ^,,^ ^,,^ ^,,^ ^,,^ |

My first guess is a URI of some sort, but if he has no contact with other cats, I would wonder how he got it. A vet visit to rule out problems is always a great idea. That said, my dog has a tear duct that is too small, so her eye constantly tears. She'd need surgery to correct it, and it doesn't bother her, and the vet said it was not a health risk, so we left it as it is. Perhaps your kitty has a blocked tear duct? The vet can tell by putting green drops in the corner of the eye and waiting for them to drip through the nose. If they don't, the duct is blocked. Allergies, IMO, would cause both eyes to tear the same. Talk to your vet and see what (s)he thinks. -- -- ~kaeli~ God was my co-pilot... but then we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
