Clean cat eyes

Dilute some baby shampoo with a solution of 1 part shampoo and 20 parts water. Use a cotton ball, gauze pad, or cotton swab dipped in this solution to gently massage the eyeball to wipe away any residue or dust. Clean the edges of the eyes thoroughly. After thoroughly cleansing the area, wipe the shampoo with clean water and cotton balls or gauze.

If any residue remains in the eyelid itself, add sterile normal saline eye drops from the top of the eye and gently remove with a tissue or cotton ball.

Apply the medicine to cat eyes

If you are going to give your cat eye drops, gently lift the cat’s head and use one or two drops of eye drops. Interval between multiple treatments of approximately 10 minutes so that the first treatment can be absorbed.

If your cat’s eye care professional recommends using an ointment, make sure to use only a few ointments at a time or it will irritate the eyes. Apply it to the corner of the eye or eyelid and gently wipe the eyelid around the cat’s eyes to distribute the ointment evenly.

I hope these quick tips are of great help in avoiding potential cat eye health problems and making your cat a “happy cat.”
