Often cats' eyes begin to fester. In this article, we will tell you what to do if your pet has such a problem.
What to do if your cat has put in his eyes
Most often, suppuration signals the development of conjunctivitis.
Sometimes inflammatory eye disease in cats is caused by viral, chlamydial infections.
Less commonly, there are other reasons.
For example, foreign bodies, dust particles, dirt, and sawdust can get into your pet's eyes.
If the amount of pus is insignificant, you should take a napkin or cotton swab.
Then soak a cloth in saline or chlorhexidine.
You can also use a special lotion for this purpose.
If the discharge is insignificant and not purulent, then it is better to take saline solution.
The product will remove tear secretions carefully, without causing any discomfort to the cat.
If this is not a simple discharge, but perhaps an infection or inflammation, you should contact your veterinarian.
The doctor will examine your pet's eyes and write a prescription for treatment.
You should contact the clinic if the discharge is heavy, odorous, yellow or multi-colored.
If the discharge does not go away for more than 3 days, seek help from a veterinarian.
If the discharge is minor and there is no more discharge after you have removed it with a napkin, everything is fine.
