A cat's eyes are one of the most vulnerable body parts. If we want them to be healthy, it is very important that, in the same way that we brush their hair daily, we also worry about cleaning them from time to time.
But How to care for a cat's eyes properly?
Give him a quality diet
Surely you have read or heard that "we are what we eat." Well, this also applies to the cat. It does not make sense to give it a feed (croquettes) that is made mainly of cereals since it is a carnivorous animal. Therefore, It is highly recommended to always read the ingredient label and discard those brands that have oats, corn, wheat and any other type of cereal. In addition, high-quality feed will contain the necessary amount of taurine, which is an essential amino acid for proper eye care.
Clean his eyes
Between two and three times a week it is highly advisable to clean your eyes. For it, you have to moisten a clean gauze in an infusion of chamomile, and wipe it over the eyelid, and repeat the same with the other eye using a new gauze. In this way, we will be able to prevent the most common infections, such as conjunctivitis.
Take him to the vet whenever he needs it
There are many problems that the eyes can have: diseases, foreign objects, itching and / or irritations. We all know how annoying it is to have a simple eyelash on the surface of the eyeball; Now let's imagine what it is to have, for example, a glaucoma or a cataract. The cat is in pain. Our duty, as your caregiver, is to provide you with veterinary care whenever you require it..
For the sake of our cat, and also for ours if we intend to extend its life as long as possible, we must take responsibility for it. Only then can you live well and be happy.
