Aamof hes developed a weepy eye this spring.
Hes a late teenager; slower getting around and specific diet needs. They eye may be as stupid as allergies. I know mine are rough this year.

I’ve had something similar with one of mine, the source was food containing grains. Ever since switching to foods without those the issue is gone.

I wish the fix was that easy. It doesnt surprise me if its food allergy. Keeping consistent food types and brands on hand the past couple years has been frustrating.

my little kitty had the same problem and the vet gave her special eye paste stuff which she absolutely hated… would love to know if anyone else had the same situation and then moving from any grain based food could help… wish we had known that as well- thank you

My kitty had the issues at an age range from approx. 4 to 6 months, a vet also just gave out an eye cream which wasn’t much appreciated by the patient in question.
It didn’t change over a month, and my gut feeling (have a small background with human medicine) said that obviously the underlying, root cause of this symptom hadn’t been addressed.
Read into veterinary medicine focussing solely on cats and grains in the diet was one probable cause for allergy-like symptoms. Checked the (supermarket) wet food and not a single brand didn’t use grains or other sh*t.
Another issue is cat litter: Most cat litter uses minerals or clay to help lumping and after doing their business cats obviously clean themselves. While the amount isn’t much these salts are not good for a kitty’s metabolism which can as an effect also disrupt the immune system.
In addition to becoming a cat foody I then also switched to a litter made of 100 % wood chips. These can only act as fiber for the cats’ digestive tract and don’t interfere with metabolism like salts.

While I’m disappointed in my personal experience with veterinary doctors (the most recent example was the elderly cat at my parents where the vet gave pain killers that are meant for dogs and explicitly not for cats due to strong stress to their intestines) I can kind of understand their situation:
Just learning about “human medicine stuff” is quite a lengthy task if you take it seriously and a vet gets to draw the short straw having to learn about a hundred different physiologies.
Anyway, Mr. Catsby’s eyes have been golden ever since for about two years now and he hasn’t had any issues at all:

I live in Denver and the altitude means that the UV from the sun is very intense. Rates of eye cancer and other ocular issues is pretty high.
Also I splurged a bit lol. I also got him hearing protection for when I go shooting.
