Souring of the eyes in dogs and cats — This is a phenomenon where tears accumulate around the eyes or in the corners of the eyes, which harden and can cause crusting. This condition can have different causes, and it is important to identify them for proper treatment. Here are some possible causes of sour eyes in dogs and cats:
Epiphora (excessive tear production):Epiphora can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital anatomy, inflammation of the tear glands, infection, or disruption of the tear duct.
Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva (the inner layer of the eyelids) can cause sour eyes. Conjunctivitis can be the result of infection, allergies, injury, or other irritants.
Foreign Bodies: Particles of dust, hair, sand or other foreign bodies can irritate the eyes and cause watery eyes.
Eye Infections: Bacterial or viral infections can cause inflammation of the eyes and, as a result, souring.
Allergies:Allergies to certain substances or dust in the environment can cause watery eyes.
Injuries or Bruises:Injuries to the eye or eyelids can cause problems with tearing.
Eyelid Luxation (Exophthalmia): Eyelid luxation can change the anatomy of the eye cavity and cause problems with the drainage of tears.
Regularly wipe your pet's eyes with a soft tissue or swab to remove accumulated tears.
If eye soreness becomes frequent or is accompanied by other symptoms (eg, redness, inflammation), contact your veterinarian.
If there are foreign bodies in the eye, refrain from attempting to remove them without professional advice.
If your veterinarian detects an infection, he or she may prescribe treatment with antibiotics or other medications.
If allergies are the suspected cause, consult your veterinarian regarding possible control and treatment options.
It is important to find out the root cause of sour eyes in order to take appropriate treatment steps.
Souring of the eyes — It is a symptom, not an independent disease. In case of repeated manifestations or intensification of symptoms, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
