Cat with runny eyes?

What does it mean when a cat has runny eyes? They look clear but i keep seeing build up on the sides. Is this a cold or something in the cats eyes?

What kind of cat is it? Gooky eyes is specific to some breeds. Persians in particular have to have help with keeping their eyes clean.

In most cats runny eyes are like runny noses in humans. So your cat probably has a cold. It's probably been sneezing too and you just didn't notice. Take it to the vet and have them check it over. They can recommend or get you the medicine - I can't remember what it's called but when mine had a cold it was a pink liquid that came with an eye dropper and she would have to get 6 drops, 2 drops 3 times a day for about a week.

I have a long hair cat, not a persian and does not usually have runny eyes. The cat has runny eyes and I am wondering if there is anything I can do for her. I have tried cleaning them with a damp cloth but it comes back. Is there any medicine I should get her or is there anything I can do to help.

I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thank you

Joan

When a cat or dog has a very obvious health problem, owners must bring them to an experienced veterinarian. This could be a blocked tear duct or a yeast infection... or many other issues. Such a health issue cannot be resolved at home. You can try remedies, but they most likely will be temporary. If you can not afford a vet visit, ask for a reduced fee. Or ask for a recommendation to a low cost animal clinic. There are many. Please do not allow your pet to suffer.
