Thread: weepy eyes

hi all
my wee one is now 8 months old and a total handfull.
she has a problem with sticky eyes is this usual in a maine coon.
she is very fit and healthy vet said just to bathe them.
not a major problem and does not seem to bother her, dont know if it just shows up more on her white fur.
any advice whould be great
thanks all

Hi..
If you live in a region where the climate has become hot, the weeping will be stopped if you make her a bath.

mine used to have the problem n was cured by merely bathing.

expect to see the photos of ur cutie..

I have a similar thing with my solid white, Herbie. His right eye has always had a slight discharge which really shows up on his white fur and if I don't wipe it away it stains. I wipe his eyes with water regularly and I have a groomer's product called 'Eye Envy' which removes the stain. I don't think it's anything to worry about and they certainly aren't bothered by it. Just watch for any signs of infection, that's when I'd nip them to the vet.

Larry my solid black has slightly weepy eyes too, but it just doesn't show up on him. I still wipe his eyes though. And his littermate Monty the black smoke has never had any eye discharge, ever, and a good thing too as he's the one who hates being 'fettled', gets all huffy with me when I get the brush out....

thanks for replies , i thought it would be ok. vet said what you have advised just wondered if a lot of maine coons have it.
she now sits when i go up to her and puts her head up as she knows whats coming
