Persian Cat Eye Care

Staining can be caused by a variety of factors. In some cases this may be a genetic predisposition, because of the physical traits of the pet. ‘Short-faced’ (brachycephalic) breeds, like Pugs and Shih Tzu, or Maltese and Persian are prone to tear staining but any dog or cat could be experiencing tear staining because of one or combination of the below:

• Clogged or Shallow Tear Ducts: Studies indicate that 20-25% of small dogs and cats are born with closed or shallow tear ducts. Tears overflow because in certain breeds the eyelid space is not deep enough to contain them.
• Excessive Tearing: When the facial hair is wet from excessive tearing (a condition known as epiphora),it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections - AKA: Red Yeast (or Pityrosporum). This causes the deep reddish-brown stains. Low grade bacterial infections may also cause excessive tearing.
