How to clean a cat's eyes

How to clean a cat's eyes without scratching us? In principle, it may seem like a very complicated task, because this animal does whatever it takes to get away from us, but ... sometimes it has no choice but to be a little patient.

So, if your four-legged friend has an eye infection and the vet has recommended putting an eye drop on him, or if you want to prevent him from getting sick by cleaning his eyes from time to time, Then I will explain how to do it without anyone being hurt.

Wrap it with a towel

You should know in advance that he will not like anything, but it is the most effective way to keep cat's nails well »stored». We wrap it with a towel, obviously leaving its head out, and then a person can hold it safely, either on their lap or, more recommended, on a hard surface such as a table.

Take the eye drops or gauze and show it to him

We often make the mistake of doing everything in a hurry. Wrap the cat, open the eye wide and quickly apply the eye drops. This I think is a mistake, because with it what we get is that it stresses even more than it already is. So, I advise to let him smell the bottle of eye drops or gauze before doing anything.

Clean it with peace of mind

I know, sometimes I repeat myself a lot 🙂, but when it comes to cats it is necessary to be very patient. Open his eye and add the drops of eye drops, or soak a gauze in chamomile infusion and pass it under the lower pupil to remove any dirt that may be slowly but not without pause. Use a clean gauze for each eye to avoid infection.

Give him a prize

Whether you have been well behaved or have been very nervous, give a prize within ten seconds of finishing to clean his eyes. It will help you relax and forget about what happened.

I hope it has served you 🙂.
