Severe tear stains can irritate the skin under the eye, causing allergy, scabbing, and infection; avoid skin antibacterials near the eye, relieve the tear stains first, keep the area dry, and let scabs fall off. Tear fluid buildup can also cause conjunctivitis or keratitis, needing regular cleaning and eye drops. Adjust diet and consider a nasolacrimal check.
Why does my cat keep tearing up / have watery eyes?
Cats tear up for many reasons: blocked tear ducts, poor diet, foreign irritants, eye disease, or viral infection. First check for foreign objects in the eye. A high-oil, high-salt diet can increase discharge, so adjust the diet. Persistent tearing may signal conjunctivitis, keratitis, or feline herpes/calici virus.
