British Shorthair cats are a very popular cat breed. They have big round eyes and cute little faces, and are deeply loved by cat lovers. However, some British Shorthair cats always shed tears, which confuses many cat owners. Let’s take a look at the causes and solutions to this phenomenon.
1. Treatment method
If your British Shorthair cat is always crying, you can try the following solutions:
(1) Clean eyes regularly: Clean your cat’s eyes with warm water or saline every day to remove excess tears and dirt, which can reduce the flow of tears.
(2) Keep the environment clean: Keep the cat’s living environment clean and sanitary, reduce the growth of bacteria and dirt, and help prevent tear duct obstruction and eye infections.
(3) Medical treatment: If the British Shorthair cat’s tearing is serious, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and receive professional treatment. The doctor may recommend eye drops or surgery to help your cat recover.
2. Reason
There may be many reasons why a British Shorthair cat may shed tears. Here are some common reasons:
(1) Excessive tears: British shorthair cats secrete more tears. If the eyes cannot discharge the excess tears in time, they will flow to the face.
(2) Tear duct obstruction: The tear ducts of British Shorthair cats are relatively thin and are easily blocked by dirt or bacteria, causing tears to not be discharged normally.
(3) Eye infection: If the British Shorthair cat’s eyes are infected with bacteria or viruses, they will have symptoms of watery eyes.
3. Precautions
When dealing with the problem of tears in British Shorthair cats, you need to pay attention to the following points:
(1) Do not use too strong a detergent to clean the cat’s eyes to avoid irritating the cat’s eyes.
(2) Do not let your cat rub its eyes excessively to avoid causing more serious eye infections.
(3) Take your cat to the veterinarian regularly for eye examinations to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner.
In short, although the problem of British shorthair cats crying is common, as long as we master the correct treatment methods and precautions, we can effectively prevent and solve the problem, so that our cats can live a healthy and happy life.
