Persian’s Runny Eyes
It’s very common for Persians to have runny eyes. This is normal and nothing to be concerned about. You will want to wipe out their eyes daily. You can use a dry wash cloth, followed by a warm wet wash cloth when it seems necessary. After cleaning the eyes, you can dab a bit of white powder of your choice, to complete the job. There are several eye powders on the market. Corn starch also works for my cats. The stress of traveling will make your kitten’s eyes run more an usual, getting vaccinations, as well as teething. If you feel the eyes are running more than usual, it could be an allergy to the new environment, especially a different part of the country. However, if you decide it could be related to sickness, talk to your veterinarian about it. The veterinarian may feel antibiotic is needed if sickness is suspected.
