When she is not eating there is no discharge or watering. She does have wet stains but again only while eating and they dry up pretty quickly after she's done. All I can think of is gustatory hyperlacrimation, but I'm not sure why that would be the case for her. She gets Canidae Grain-Free Pure Salmon & Mackerel (wet food) and Friskie's dry food (still working in switching her kibble to Canidae).
Yes, drainage is clear, literally like tears. Thanks for the tip! I'll elevate her food dish tonight and see if that helps.
But wouldn't she then have drainage at other times too and not just while eating? I'm confused.
No tearing when she's playing on the ground but as soon as she even just smells food, she tears up. Just spoke to my vet who said that although it's rare, she may have hypersalivation due to a potential prior facial trauma causing the facial nerve to mis-wire during healing (after all she lived outside for over 1 years). Less likely the tear duct as it exclusively occurs during eating. No real concern that requires medical attention since it does not seem to bother her.
Now it is 5 years old. I came here because i'm searching information about my kitten too. she is around 6-7 months. she never cried. but yesterday when I gave her treats (tuna and chicken) suddenly tear flow down from her eyes. Everytime when she lick the treat again she will cry. at first I thought its normal and funny because I found a feed in instagram that shows a cat cry. but later i think thats not normal. why does she cry when only eating the treat?? She never cry again when i give her dry foods and water later. Hoping someone might reply even if this an old forum.
