If at a cat eyes water and he squints, the pet's owners quite often panic, suspecting presence at it of any disease. Fortunately, quite often this phenomenon has harmless character. Diagnostics of a condition of an animal is required to choose suitable treatment.
The situations which are not connected with diseases
Having noticed that at a cat one eye waters, owners have to track behavior of the pet. This simple and harmless phenomenon accompanying process of intensive washing at animals is frequent. By means of paws which are moistened with language, circular motions in a muzzle are made. At the similar moments the cats and cats can strongly narrow eyes, but not always manage to make it in time. Because of it the cornea is slightly touched that causes temporary burning and dacryagogue of an eye as protective reaction. This phenomenon can accompany all process of washing and some time after it, the natural humidity of an eye will not be restored yet.
Practically the same situation arises when to a cat the mote, a mote or a hair from its wool gets into an eye. Pets often ride on a dusty carpet and a floor therefore in order to avoid unpleasant consequences it is necessary to vacuum carefully floor and carpets in the apartment. Happens and so that at a cat one eye waters and he blinks it because of a sharp view of sunshine or light from a bright lama. This state gradually passes in both situations, and eyes of an animal recover.
So, you should not panic ahead of time, having noticed prishchurivany eyes at a cat, accompanied with dacryagogue. For a start it is necessary to observe the pet within several hours. If during this time symptoms do not disappear, the condition of an animal remains the same or worsens, it is necessary to address the veterinarian for detailed medical diagnostics of a problem.
Prishchurivaniye and dacryagogue as signs of the desease
At animals, especially cats and dogs, eyes are the sensitive and poorly protected body which is subject to various diseases and can be damaged under the influence of any given factors. Increase in intraocular pressure which is often shown at advanced age (at cats and cats 10 years are more senior) becomes one of the most widespread cases.
The animal begins to blink more often more intensively one or both eyes, the increased lachrymation is observed. Besides, cats and cats become uneasy, can not find long to themselves the place and mew lingeringly. If to disregard a problem, the eye crystalline lens gradually grows turbid, ceases to react to light: the blindness develops. It is possible to solve a problem only in the medical way, and the help has to be rendered as soon as possible.
In other cases the prishchurivaniye and constant humidity of an eye can be signs of development of conjunctivitis and other bacteriological inflammations. Animals quite often accidentally bring an infection in eyes even during washing. In such situation the consultation with the doctor who will register special anti-inflammatory drops is necessary.
Also cases of development of an allergy in cats and cats on dust, paint and varnish and other materials (for example if in the apartment it is repaired) and also on exotic flowers, plants and other are frequent. Development of an illness owing to corresponding change of a house situation – actually unambiguous confirmation of influence of allergen. You should not exclude also accidental damage of a cornea by claws (during the washing, games and skirmishes with other animals). At suspicion on above-mentioned factors immediately address the veterinarian.
