Short-nosed cats often have blocked tear ducts that need clearing, while foreign-object irritation calls for flushing the eye and using anti-inflammatory drops. Ingrown lashes can be plucked or surgically corrected, but you should confirm the cause before giving any medication.

Watery eyes with brown discharge can stem from irritants, an unsuitable diet, or eye inflammation. Gently open the eye to check for and remove any foreign object. If the eye is also red or won't open, suspect inflammation and use pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops; if symptoms persist, take the cat to a vet.
