I believe that all the shovelers have seen this emoji, the cat on the picture has misty eyes, tears seem to flow, and the expression is wronged, which makes people feel both distressed and funny. When Ben shoveler saw this picture for the first time, was he surprised that the cat would also shed tears? After all, the two of my family will not show such a pitiful expression all year round.
So what is the reason for the cat's tears? Cats love to cry in two cases, namely tearing under normal reactions and pathological tearing.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > tearing under normal reactions</h1>
Healthy cats can also cry, such as when they are affected by odors, or when they smell onions or accidentally eat peppers. We sometimes smell the onion or choke on the pepper is also tearful, the cat is the same, I believe many people have a certain sound brush to the cat to eat the pepper tears video. There is also a situation that the cat's eyes are stimulated by foreign bodies and will also shed tears, such as being stimulated by eyelashes, if the cat is bothered by eyelashes, the shovelers go directly to the pet hospital to let the doctor deal with it.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, cat pathological tearing</h1>
In addition to normal physiological tears, if your cat often sheds tears inexplicably, it is likely that your cat is already sick. What situations can cause a cat to cry inexplicably?
1) The cat is in tears
When the cat's nasolacrimal duct is blocked, tears will flow out of the corner of the cat's eyes, and in general, the cat's tears will be distributed on the cornea by blinking and the third eyelid, which can prevent the cat's viewing angle membrane from drying and necrosis. If you see tears involuntarily flowing from the corners of your cat's eyes, you should pay attention to whether the cat's nasal tear duct is blocked.
2) Cat conjunctivitis
There are many causes of conjunctivitis infection, the main of which are two, one is the upper respiratory tract infection of cats, and the other is infected by bacteria and viruses. When you see that your cat has red eyes and is photophobic and will scratch its eyes with its paws, it is very likely that conjunctivitis will occur
3) Cat keratitis
If the cat's eyes are stimulated by foreign bodies for a long time, it will cause keratitis, such as cat eyelashes and eyelid inversion. There are also cats that long-term water intake can also cause keratitis. Under normal circumstances, the cat's cornea is transparent, when keratitis occurs, the cat's cornea will become foggy, which requires you to pay more attention to the cat's eyes.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 3, how to care for the cat's eyes when pathological tears appear</h1>
When a cat has pathological tears, in addition to going to the doctor, as a shoveler, you must also know how to care for the cat's eyes. There are several steps to care for cat eyes:
1. Prepare materials. Degreasing cotton balls, saline and syringe. If there is no degreasing cotton ball, makeup remover cotton and small gauze are also available, and it is not recommended to use a cotton swab, which is easy to stab the cat's eyes.
2. Use the syringe to pump out the normal saline and wet the cotton balls for later. Before cleaning up, reassure your owners not to get too nervous, and then slowly lift the cat's head.
3. Along the edge of the cat's eyes, wipe from the corner of the eye to the end of the eye, the action should be gentle, and try not to touch the surface of the cat's eyeball when cleaning
4: Wipe off the salt water around the eyes with dry cotton.
5, first drop a few drops of normal saline into the cat's eyes, gently massage the eye area with your hands, let the salt water mix the secretions sufficiently, and then repeatedly drop into the salt water several times to flush out the secretions, and then wipe off the excess salt water with a dry cotton ball.
The last step, after making sure the eyes are clean, put on the health eye drops or prescription drugs that you have written back from the pet hospital, and finally wipe off the excess with a dry cotton ball.
In addition to knowing how to care for cat eyes, the daily living environment also needs to be cleaned and disinfected frequently. We carry more germs than cats carry germs, want cats to maintain health, our daily living environment is also very important, shovelers can buy some cat special disinfectant back to do regular disinfection, to give cats a healthy environment.
