Watery Eyes in Cats

My cat about 8 months old is having discharge from one eye, pkus it seems to be watering a lot today! Anything I can do? He is a ting fine, just super vocal today

Hello!

I recently rescued my 6-month-old kitten. When I brought him home, he had every sign of conjunctivitis in his right eye so I took him to the vet the next day. He was given Ofloxacin eye drops, and within 1 week the pinkeye/redness cleared up. However, his right eye still waters every day, is noticeably puffier underneath the eye than the left and he squints it more often. Also, I give him Viralys twice a day and he was treated for roundworms twice. Do you have any idea why this might be? Or should I bring him back to the vet for further tests?


Thank you!

My 2 year old black cat, out of nowhere, had a watery eye with a swollen eyelid. She was squinting. I applied a warm compress, and shortly thereafter she was able to keep her eye wide open- however it still seemed as though her eyelid remained somewhat inflamed. When I came home a couple hours later, it seemed ok.
A few hours later she came downstairs and her other eye presented with clear watery discharge and slightly inflamed eyelid. Again, warm compress- and it seemed to be fine.
I still feel the first eye has a swollen eyelid. There are no foreign objects in her eye, there is no redness, it's just the top eyelid that appears to be ever so slightly visibly inflamed.
If there's discharge it's clear.
Could this be allergies? Herpes virus? Our other cat has herpes and we've seen similar flareups though the eyelid seems to be more inflamed than I'm used to.
I will see a vet but am curious for input.
She is eating just fine, seems ok... She sleeps a lot in general so I can't be sure that she's more sleepy than usual...

my cat feels bad he looks sad and had tears on its eyes and he eats less then usual then it looked like he got fever but he vomited 1 time he has dierrhea I dont know what to do. Please help me as soon as you get this.

We have a 2-3 years old female cat from a rescue center since 2016. About two months ago she started having tears constantly in her right eye. The discharge is clear and other than that she behaves normally, same as before.

Our vet performed an eye exam including staining test and prescribed Erythromycin for 7 days. After that did not work he prescribed Terramycin for 10 days which caused even more tears during treatment.

The vet is not sure what causes this and said it might be a blocked tear duct (during the stain test the dye went from eye to nose, so we are not sure about this diagnosis).

What could be causing this? Anything else we can try before taking her to an ophthalmologist (it is 40 minutes away and the drive could be stressful)? Already tried L-Lysine.

My cat has one eye that forms tears every now and then. There arent any other symptoms. The tear is a clear color. She has regular breathing and no inflamation. I dont have enough for a vet right now to check her eye out and im worried aboit ready aboit what she might have.

My cat's right eye began watering a lot yesterday and he seems to be squinting it more than the left. He's strictly indoors and there are no other animals in the house. He had his rabies shot as a kitten & one year booster, but thats it per his breeder. I'm unsure if a vet will treat him without another shot but I signed an agreement not to continue to vaccinate and I agree with this decision.

Hello, my cat was prescribed clavomox for a wound from another cat. It’s been about a week and now he is starting to sneeze and has one watery eye. He has also been sleeping a lot recently but appetite has been fine. When he was a kitten he had a problem with the same eye. Do you have any idea what this could be and if I should take him to the vet?

I recently got a Sphynx kitten she has blue eyes and light colored.She is about 12ks old. Before we were able to take her home when she was 8wks old she had conjunctivitis and the owner was taking her to the vet. It cleared up by the time we took her home about 2wks later. She has had flare ups since I have had her. Will this go away?

My male cat, Cirrus, has had eye discharge that stains the fur underneath a brownish-red, plus sniffles. And then, just recently, one of his eyes turned cloudy. My vet thinks that it is a side effect of a chronic disease that he has and for which he is given prednisolone (red, scabby bumps above eyes). However, he was diagnosed with the chronic disease 3 years ago (he is 4.5 years old), but has had the eye discharge for only 6 months now. Intuition tells me it's something else.

I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD FEMALE CAT THAT SEEMS TO GET SEASONAL WATERY EYE IN ONE EYE. IS THERE AN OVER THE COUNTER EYE DROP THAT WILL HELP? IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BOTHER HER.

I rescued 2 kittens which are now about 8 months and I haven't vaccinated them should I be concerned then being around my daughters even though they are home cats never go out my 6 year old got some black dots that look like scrapes

Is there eye drops or something I can get OTC for my cat to help get his eye back to normal? His third eye is showing, looks a little red or inflamed, Clear watering out of his eye. I wipe it as much as I can & use a warm wash cloth 1-2 times a day. Pretty sure it's allergies, heard a few sneezes no discharge. It started when the weather changed & the temp in our house dropped b4 we put the heat on. Started about 5 days ago.

My cat is 7 months old, vaccines up to date. After a few months he started getting a watery eye. One watery eye. No sign of swelling, no redness or inflammation. There is no cloudy or yellow discharge, just clear watery eye. It is the same eye and he has had this for about 3 months. There is no change in his behavior. He has a big appetite and drinks lots of water. He is very social and loves people. I got him from a kennel where they told me he had like a kitty cold which was normal from moving from kennel to kennel. He was lethargic at first but they gave me medication. After that he perked up. Is this watery eye serious?

My kitty will have one eye water whenever he is eating his food but no other time. It is usually clear, sometimes cloudy. It always stops after he is done eating. Could this be a symptom of a food allergy? It isn't the same eye every time.

My 11 month old cat has had one squinty eye since I got her 3 months ago. Now her eyes are watering really bad and her eyes look slightly glazed over. Ice also heard her sneeze 3 times. I cant take her to the vet for 2 weeks, what can I do for her until then.

Is there anything I can do for my cats watery eye? I’ve taken him to the vet before they didn’t run any tests but said it was due to his overly big eyes like a Persian he would be susceptible to watery eyes and staining. But it’s just one eye, it gets really dark and hard after just a day, I wipe it and it’s pink and irritated so I try not to cause more irritation by wiping it several times a day. He also gets like little boogers, but he’s been like that since he was born so the vet ruled out it wasn’t a cold.

I have a Maine Coon male cat. His name is Fido, since he acts like a dog. Plays fetch, follows and such. 9 years olds. Has been fixed. His left eye is watery.
Clear water, not sticky.
His eye is not inflamed
not swollen
no redness
the eye is clear, not cloudy,
He is not squinting he hasn't been messing or rubbing it.
I can wipe it and he doesn't pull away, so I'm going with not painful.

He is not on any medications

My 15 year old cat, Pablo, has one runny eye. The tears are a brownish/red color that stains his fur. I wouldn’t think anything of it, but it ONLY happens when he eats. I noticed that when I give him his favorite treats that eye would often drip on my hand as he is impatiently waiting for the next treat to reach his mouth. It’s as if he is salivating out of his left eye. Is that a thing? We recently had to euthanize our 14 year old cat who constantly had runny eyes since he was a kitten - one eye suddenly got worse than the other and after a couple failed antibiotics the did a ct scan and found his sinus cavity filled with tumors. Just don’t want this to end up like that because it was so awful. Any thoughts on salivating out the eye?

We adopted a female kitten from a shelter just last mon, and all the kittens in the room were all sneezing! She has been very playful up to yesterday, she slept all day was sneezing has watery eyes started in left eye now the right side is starting to water also, she woke up this morning at 6 am ate and has been sleeping since, she feels warm also?

Yesterday I brought my kitten to the vet.I told them about her sneezing. They thought it was just alergies. Today I noticed she started coughing and her left eye is itchy/watering. I will admit that it could be just the smoke in the air ( I live in oregon and there are a few fires). I think it is just irritation but how do I help her?

my cat has a 40 degree fever and watery eyes. i took her to the vet and was given medication for her. but she is very fatigue and isn’t eaying, barely drinking and not pooping. i changed her food recently and realised fhat would be a problem so i changed back to the normal on yesterday when she got ill. she took her medication this morning but her eye still very watery and she’s barely moving. what do i do!?

My 12 week old kitten has a watery eye. She has had this since she was born but it wasnt as bad. Now it is staining her face i wipe her face reguarly but her eye gets really runny. What does this mean? And is this something that could be serious?

Hi,

My kitten has a watery eye. It’s been watery since I got him. He’s seen two different vets, both said it’s an upper respiratory infection. His first trip to the vet he was given a steroid and antibiotic shot...no luck. The second vet, prescribed an oral antibiotic and eye drops...also with no luck.

What can this be? The fluid coming from his eye is clear and not thick/puss like, but it gets crusty and rust like. Near his tear duct, it’s getting like a light pink color. No other symptoms, like squinting or not acting like a normal playful kitten.

I’d hate to take him to another vet to get the same results.

Hi my domestic short hair female cat has had a watery eye for the past 2 days
She’s acting normal
The liquid coming Out is clear but does look slightly pink inside/around eye

I recently noticed that my 5 year old cat develops watery eyes during and after eating her wet food that she enjoys tremendously. No other times throughout the day. Seems perfectly fine otherwise. Has recently had some weight gain too.

We have 2 kittens from a RSPCA rescue centre aged approx 9 months that have had constantly to varying degrees runny or watery right eyes. Our vet has seen them but doesn't seem too concerned and says that they are the results of an episode of cat flu probably when they were strays. Ovr the last week or so it seems to have got worse coinciding with the colder weather but although they do go out from time to time they are largely indoor cats

Is my cat Okay? He right eye has been watering for months now, she gets lots of eye discharge (eye boogers). Sometimes she can barely open her eye. She has sneezing fits somewhat often & boogers will come out of her nose (this is new)

My cat is one. His eyes are watering. He often squints and closes an eye. He has squinted and closed one eye since he was a kitten. There is no redness. No thick discharge. Just light watery substance.

I took in a cat about 2 yrs ago. I had a ferral cat program help me with nurteting and shots. I live in a very wooded area he is an outdoor cat. We noticed that he had 1 eye that would get wstery. I've recently noticed as the weather changed both his eyed were leaking clear watery discharge. I's this allergies or could it n something else? And what can I try.. I'm on ssd do I don't have much funds hes active and playful. What can it be. Nicole
