One very common issue when dealing with kittens and young cats is respiratory illnesses. Usually, viruses are the cause, and because there are not very many great antivirus therapies available, supportive care is provided while the cat’s immune system itself fights off the disease.
It so happens that respiratory viruses like these, most especially the cat herpes virus, could also cause irritations of the eye. This includes excess tears and something that is called “blepharospasm,” a technical term indicating a partially closed eyelid.
As was mentioned above, a lot of times, infections like these tend to resolve themselves, but if the eye discharges change to green or yellow color, it is typically a sign of something more serious, like perhaps an ulcer of the cornea or perhaps bacterial infection, and your pet must have veterinary intervention the soonest.
