Cats are elves in our daily lives, and they win our love for their unique charm and petite figure. However, sometimes we observe a phenomenon on the cat's face, which is tears. These tears not only affect the appearance of the cat, but may also indicate some health problems. So, how should we solve the problem of cat tear marks?
First, we need to understand the causes of tears. Tears are formed by traces left by cat tears. The main ingredients of tears are water, oil and salt. When a cat cries, tears flow down the face and create light-colored marks around the corners of the eyes. These traces are the tears we see.
However, if the cat's tears persist, or the color is darker, there may be some potential health problems. For example, cats may have problems such as eyelid inversion and nasolac duct obstruction, which will cause tears to not flow out normally and form tears. For these issues, we can take the following measures to deal with:
Cleaning: First, we need to regularly clean the cat's face to remove excess tears and dirt. Cleaning can be done with soft wipes or cotton balls while avoiding overly irritating soaps or detergents.
Diet: Diet is also a factor that causes tears. Foods that are too greasy or too salty can cause cats to have tears problems. Therefore, we need to ensure that cats eat healthy, choose high-quality foods, and avoid excessive snacks and human foods.
Medical: If the cat's tears still exist after cleaning and dietary adjustments, you may need to seek help from a veterinarian. Veterinarians can check whether there are problems such as eyelid inversion and nasolac duct obstruction, and take corresponding medical measures.
In short, understanding the causes of cat tear marks and taking corresponding measures is an important part of maintaining cat health. Through regular cleaning, healthy eating and proper medical care, we can help cats get rid of tears and return them to their optimal health.
