It may be caused by environmental factors. If the British shorthair lives in a very dirty environment with a lot of hair, dust, parasites, etc., it is easy for the British shorthair to stick to it, causing tears and eventually the formation of tear stains. There may also be a disease in the cat's eyes, or the eyelashes are inverted, causing the cat to shed tears frequently, and tear stains will form over time. In addition, eating foods that are too salty and irritating to the British Shorthair, coupled with the British Shorthair drinking less water, will also lead to tear stains in the British Shorthair. The last reason is that cats are born with blocked nasolacrimal ducts, and tears can only flow out of the eyes, thus forming tear stains.

You can prepare chloramphenicol eye drops and petroleum jelly. First put one or two drops of chloramphenicol eye drops on the British shorthair, then use a wet tissue or towel to wipe the corners of the British shorthair to clean it up, and then apply it on the British shorthair. Vaseline, insist on 2-3 times a week, and see if the situation improves.

If you want to relieve the tear stains of British shorthair, diet is actually very important. In addition to not eating too salty, it is best to choose cat food that contains a fire-reducing formula, which can reduce the problem of tear stains caused by getting angry. You also need to let the cat drink more water, clean the tear stains around the cat diligently, and keep it dry and tidy, so that the British shorthair tear stains will gradually be resolved.
