As one of our loyal pets, cats need to give us enough attention and care, whether it is physical care or psychological care. However, cats' bodies will also encounter some common problems, such as illness, injury, fever, etc.

In daily life, we may also encounter some relatively small problems, such as a hair in the cat's eyes. How to deal with it? First of all, we need to be clear that it is not uncommon for cats to get hair into their eyes. It can be caused by the cat when it scratches itchy, or it may be that dust or other debris in the environment enters the cat's eyes, causing pain or discomfort. Therefore, we need to deal with this as soon as possible to avoid further harm and discomfort. The treatment method can be divided into the following steps:  

1. Observe the situation When we find that hair is in the cat's eyes, we need to observe the situation first. If a small hair is only in a short time and the cat does not have any unusual liquid flowing out, we can try to deal with it ourselves. If the situation is serious, such as having longer hair or having severe tears in the cat, it is recommended to take the cat to the hospital for professional treatment in time. 2. Preparation If we decide to deal with it ourselves, we need to prepare the following tools: 1. Cotton swabs or gauze 2. Physical saline or distilled water 3. Sterilization potions or ointments (if there is inflammation or infection) 3. Clean eyes Use cotton swabs or gauze, dip them in an appropriate amount of saline or distilled water, and gently wipe the cat's eyes and the surface of the eyes to make the cat feel comfortable and cool. This step can help us clean the dirt on the surface of our eyes and reduce the risk of subsequent infection. 4. Try to remove the hair. We can use another cotton swab or small tweezers to carefully take out the hair that enters the cat's eyes. This requires great care and care to avoid further irritating the cat's eyes or allowing hair to penetrate deep into the eye tissue. 5. Local medication If there is inflammation or infection, we can use sterilization potions or ointments to apply on the affected area. This can help reduce inflammation and discomfort and promote the healing of the eyes.

Summary: It is common for cats to have hair in their eyes, but we also need to pay more attention in care and care. We can help cats recover quickly through observation, cleaning, removing hair and local treatment, and avoid similar problems. If the situation is serious, try to take the cat to the hospital for treatment. On weekdays, paying more attention and taking care of the cat can make it healthier and happier.
