My cats eye keeps watering and she is frequently sneezing

Thanks for reaching out about your cat's watery eye and sneezing. These symptoms can be concerning, and I'm here to help you understand what's going on.



The watering eye and sneezing could be due to several common causes. One possibility is an upper respiratory infection, which is like a cat's version of a cold, often caused by viruses or bacteria. Allergies to things like pollen, dust, or smoke could also be causing these symptoms. Sometimes, foreign objects like a speck of dust or hair can irritate a cat's eye, leading to watering and sneezing.



At home, you can try gently wiping away any discharge from her eye with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure she's comfortable and hydrated. Keep her environment as dust-free as possible and avoid using strong cleaning products or perfumes near her.



Watch for signs that her condition might be worsening, such as persistent sneezing, thick or yellow-green eye discharge, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, or lethargy. These could indicate a more serious issue that needs veterinary attention.



To ensure your cat gets the care she needs, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look at her symptoms and guide you on the next steps.
