Persians
and Himalayans do have some tearing due to their facial
structure. Some have more tearing than others. This is a good
reason to pay attention when picking out your new Persian or
Himalayan. Look for wide set eyes. Also note the nose placement.
Wide set eyes means:
That their is a good amount of space between the eyes. You
want to see enough space to place another eye in the middle.
This gives you a way of measuring. Not that you want another eye
there:)
Nose placement means: That
the top of the nose leather show not set any higher than the
lower eye lids. Some people don't mind if it sets as high
as the middle of the eye. BUT no higher!!!
The eyes and nose being all
squished together means there isn't any room for the tear ducts
and other necessary passages. This means eye tearing.
There is other medical and physical reasons for eye tearing, but
this the main one.
Keeping your Persian's face clean will help
cut down on the eye tearing.
