The presence of dark discharge around a feline’s eyes is a common observation. This ocular secretion, often described as “eye boogers,” is typically composed of tears, mucus, dust, and dead cells. While a small amount of discharge is normal, excessive or unusually colored discharge can indicate an underlying health concern.
Addressing the causes of this phenomenon is crucial for maintaining feline health and well-being. Understanding the potential reasons allows for timely intervention and prevents the escalation of minor issues into more serious conditions. Monitoring the consistency, color, and quantity of any ocular discharge is vital for providing accurate information to a veterinarian.
