Cat's eyes are one big and one small, slightly unable to open
The cat's eyes are one big and one small, and it's a little hard to open. It could be caused by improper diet, trauma, keratitis, corneal ulcer, or herpes virus infection. It is recommended to take the cat to the hospital in time for examination and targeted treatment based on the examination results, which is beneficial for relieving the symptoms.
- Improper diet
If the cat often eats spicy and stimulating foods like chili and garlic, it may cause the cat to be "on fire" and develop symptoms like teary eyes and uneven eye sizes. In daily life, the cat's food should be light-flavored, and spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided as much as possible. Cat's can drink a suitable amount of warm boiled water, which can help relieve the symptoms.
- Trauma
If the cat's eyes are accidentally hit by external force, it may cause damage to the local soft tissue around the eye, resulting in difficulty opening the eye and uneven eye sizes. In this case, you can wrap ice in a towel and apply it to the affected area, which can effectively inhibit capillary expansion and help relieve the symptoms.
- Keratitis
If you don't bathe your cat frequently, bacteria may multiply extensively around the cat's eyes and enter the eyes, causing inflammatory reactions, teary eyes, difficulty opening the eyes, and uneven eye sizes. Under a doctor's guidance, antibiotic medication can be used to relieve the symptoms.
- Corneal ulcer
If a cat has keratitis and doesn't receive timely treatment, the condition may worsen and lead to corneal ulceration. This is usually accompanied by swollen eyes, difficulty opening, and increased secretions from the eyes, resulting in uneven eye sizes. It is advised to go to a regular pet hospital promptly and receive standardized and effective treatment under a doctor's guidance.
- Herpes virus infection
After a cat is infected with the herpes virus, it will multiply extensively in the eyes, causing pathological reactions and symptoms such as uneven eye sizes, profuse tears, and increased secretions from the eyes. Treatment with pet-specific antiviral drugs under a pet doctor's guidance can help relieve the symptoms to some extent.
In daily life, pay attention to the cat's hygiene care, bathe regularly, keep the skin dry and clean, and drink an appropriate amount of warm boiled water, which can accelerate the body's metabolism and promote the recovery of the disease.
