What are the tips for removing cat tear marks? The master must know
What are the tips for removing cat tear marks? Wipe the cat's tears with a wet rag; mix dish soapy water with a mixture of dishwashing detergent and warm water, and wipe the cat's tears with a soft cloth; pour white vinegar into the wet cloth, wipe the cat's tears, apply toothpaste on the cat's tears, wipe it with a wet cloth, dip it in a little water with a rag, then dip it in a small amount of soap, and wipe the cat's tears.
1. Wipe with a hot towel or a wet wipe
If the cat has a short time of tear marks, the owner can use a hot towel or a wet wipe to gently wipe off the tears. It should be noted that it is best to use baby wipes for wet wipes. This wipe is generally free of alcohol and mint ingredients, which can avoid irritation to cat's eyes.
2. Use starch and boric acid powder
boric acid powder is a topical skin medicine, which is usually used to relieve itching and swelling of the skin, and is gentle and non-irritating. If the cat's tears are stubborn and simple wipes cannot solve it, then you can mix boric acid and starch into a paste, and then apply it to the cat's tears. After they are dry, clean and wipe it to achieve the effect of bleaching.
3. Improve diet
If the owner usually eats the cat with greasy food or has a high salt content, it is easy to cause tear marks in the cat. Therefore, in addition to actively helping the cat clean up the tear marks, the owner should also adjust the cat's diet structure, feed the cat some light and easy-to-digestible food, and encourage the cat to drink more water, so as to minimize the abnormal secretion of tears and the occurrence of tear marks.
Note: For long-standing tear marks, cleaning may not be completely removed by one cleaning, so the owner must be patient and continue to clean. If the above measures are not effective and the cat also experiences increased eye secretions and aggravated tears, it may be caused by blockage of the nasolac duct. The cat needs to be sent to the pet hospital in time for differential diagnosis and medication treatment.
