2. After wiping the eyes clean, apply some anti-inflammatory eye drops to the cat’s eyes and wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent the cat from scratching its eyes.

3. Clean the cat’s eyes with eyewash regularly to protect the cat’s eye hygiene.

1. Herpes virus infection, also called cat nasal congestion, herpes virus is a common infectious disease in cats, mainly The main symptoms include upper respiratory tract symptoms, sneezing, runny nose, increased eye secretions, and eye edema, resulting in varying sizes.
