Cat Eye Care
With Natural Herbal Remedies

Cat eye care starts with a loving stare. Don't worry that your Mom taught you that it was impolite to stare, your cat knows better. Staring means you are paying attention to something, in this case your cat's eyes.

As a loving cat owner, you want your feline friend to be as healthy as possible, and a big part of that means taking care of her eyes.

While you two are trapped in this gaze, look for changes to the eyes, like excessive tearing, or discharge. The eyes should be moist and clear, as well as free of mucous. Anything out of the ordinary could indicate a problem requiring medical eye care from your veterinarian.

One of the easiest things that you can do for your cat eye care program is to keep her eyes clean and free of mucous. If its there, she may have an infection, cold or an allergic reaction to something. Leaving mucous around the eyelid can lead to infection. Infection can lead to eye disease or loss of eyesight.

How to give proper cat eye care

The simplest cleaning solution is a soft, warm, damp cloth. Gently wipe your cat's eyes with the cloth. Rinse it out or use a clean side for the other eye.

Your vet can recommend other eye care products, but warm water is the simplest and cheapest. Don't put off cleaning her eyes because your going to he vet in a week or two.

If your cat develops an eye infection, your veterinarian will likely prescribe antibiotic medication, which you apply directly to her eye in the form of eye drops or a small tube of eye ointment. Your cat will buck this treatment, but it is for her own good. Eye ointments are much easier to use, because you don't have to time drop in the eye with all the cat bucking.

Proper cat eye care is important for your cat's eyesight. It is critical if your cat is a diabetic cat. Sometimes people don't understand how important it is to take care of their cat's eyes, and often don't even think about it until a problem develops.

Try adding a natural herbal compound to warm water

Excessive tearing or watery eyes are indicated by drip marks or stains in the fur around the eyes, eyes are excessively watery or constantly weep. This may be a passed down from a parent, or it could be a malfunction of the tear ducts, allergies, or the corneas are scratched.

My cat Dee experiences teary eyes from seasonal allergies. Simon had a tear to the tear gland from a cat fight. Banjo had a cornea scratched (Corneal Ulceration) when he walked through some tall grass that poked him in the eye. They all benefited from treatment with this simple herbal solution. 

I love using this solution because its easy to apply and the cat's get immediate relief.  I boil a cup of water then measure out 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the boiled water (that's about 20ml).  Next, I mix in 5 drops of the herbal compound and leave to cool.

Once the mixture is cooled, I soak a clean cotton swab in the solution and gently wipe the cat's eyes from inner to outer corners.   I use a new cotton ball for each eye.  I do this 3 times a day until the irritation clears up. 

Now, your cat will close her eye, but that's ok.  The herbal solution mix with help cleanse the tear gland and surrounding area.  It is a natural method of providing Purrfect cat eye care. :)
