Re: persians dirty eyes.
Its a common problem with Persians and other cats with more prominent eyeballs. You can get proprietory cleaners to get rid of the tear stains, but I don't know how effective they are. Otherwise regular wiping of the eyes is a must with this breed, and if Purdy has problems with the tears matting the fur under the eye it may be worth clipping the fur around this area.

Re: persians dirty eyes.
My persian used to and my exotic still does always worse when hes had a snooze ,I just wipe them with cooled boiled water but if the rims of the eye are looking pink or sore it could be an eye infection

Re: persians dirty eyes.
Persian eyes need wiping on a daily basis with boiled cooled water and a cotton wool makeup remover pad to keep on top of them. There are certain stain removers available and many persian breeders have their own tried and tested methods for stain removable. It obviously stands out more in light coloured coats. Like the other poster said though if there is any redness or signs of inflammation then you would need to consult a vet to get the appropriate medication

Re: persians dirty eyes.
I have been told that brown dirty stuff in the corners of cat's eyes can by a symptom of ear mites. Treating the ear mites (medicine in the ears, and then massaged a bit, repeated after some time) can clear up the symptom showing up in the eyes. I am not saying this always the reason, but the dark brown stuff, I believe is more likely to be mites than just regular clear or neutral colored stuff.
One way to check, of course, is to look deep into the ears, and see if there is brown stuff there as well. No Q-tips! but some massaging is needed with the medicine to break up the waxy stuff the mites are living in. |
