Thick eye discharge can come from inflammation, a viral or bacterial infection, or other eye problems. Wipe the eyes clean, then use pet-specific antibacterial eye drops; if it doesn't improve, see a vet.
What causes tear stains in cats?
Cat tear stains can arise from diet (too salty or greasy food), genetics (flat-faced breeds with blocked tear ducts), or eye diseases like conjunctivitis and ingrown lashes. Proper treatment depends on identifying the specific underlying cause.
Why does my dog tear up and develop tear stains?
Tear staining can stem from both physiological traits (such as a sharply curved tear duct) and pathological problems like foreign objects or eye disease. Regular cleaning and saline rinses help mild cases, but tearing with redness or other symptoms needs cause-specific veterinary treatment.
What medicine should I use for a cat with red, swollen, tearing eyes that won’t open?
Red, swollen, tearing eyes that won't open in a cat are usually from inflammation or allergy. See a vet first to confirm the cause — treatment differs. Allergies are treated with glucocorticoids; bacterial inflammation is treated with a pet-specific antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drop.
How do I treat a puppy with tearing eyes?
A puppy's tearing eyes can come from infection, a foreign object, a blocked tear duct, a breed trait, or ingrown eyelashes.

Why is my dog losing fur and having discharge under its eyes?

Why is my kitten’s head tilted back and stiff with weak limbs and no appetite?

Why is my kitten holding its head back and stiff, with weak limbs and no appetite?
These signs can stem from nutritional deficiency, encephalitis, electrolyte imbalance, poisoning, seizures, or hypoglycemia. Kittens dehydrate fast and may fall into hypoglycemic shock, so seek veterinary diagnosis and treatment promptly.
My Teddy dog is having convulsions and foaming at the mouth — could it be epilepsy?
Convulsions with foaming at the mouth in a Teddy dog can come from poisoning, distemper, epilepsy, and more. Go to a vet at once for emergency care. Treatment is then tailored — induced vomiting and IV fluids for poisoning, a brain CT for seizures, and infectious-disease screening for distemper.
