Why is my cat's eye watering? Should I be worried or see a vet?

No this is normal, and it could be due to an eye infection, injury to the eye, or allergies. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Cookie seen by a vet tomorrow to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.

It's quite serious that Mica has been leaking something out of her eye for over year, and it could be due to a severe eye infection or allergies. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Mica has to see a vet immediately, please take her into one now.

Poor Harley! It sounds like he could have an eye infection or may have injured his eyes. He needs to see a vet as soon as possible for this problem. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet for treatment. Best of luck.

Poor King! This can be a sign of an eye infection or an injury to the eye. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take him into a vet first thing in the morning to get treated. Best of luck.

I see what you mean. He could be squinting because the light is painful to his eye, and it may be he has injured his eyes or has an eye infection. Any eye problem is an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take him into a vet right away to get checked out. Best of luck.

Young kittens very commonly have bacterial and viral ocular issues. They can also be squinting from an injury to the cornea. I suggest you get her to your vet ASAP so they can diagnose the issue and provide the proper treatment. Eyes are very delicate organs and can go from bad to worse very quickly. You should not wait a long time to seek treatment. The only thing you can do at home while waiting to get her to a vet is to rinse the eye with saline solution. That is the only safe thing you can put in there for now without knowing what the underlying problem is. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It’s always best to have the eye checked but if he’s not squinting, no redness or discomfort, no green or yellow discharge then you should be ok to monitor the eye at home. Some eyes water when the tear ducts are plugged or from mild allergies. Do take him in if this continues or worsens.
