Your cat are obviously sick. You probably want to take them to the vet. My cat did that before, but after I payed a visit to the pet and got some medicine for him, he was alright.

Epiphora is an abnormal overflow of tears down the face that results from either obstruction of tear drainage through the nasolacrimal (tear duct) system or overproduction of tears that overwhelms the normal drainage system. The overproduction of tears is most often a reflex, activated to expel irritating material from the surface of the eye or when significant irritation develops inside the eye. Although uncommon, epiphora may also result from overactive lacrimal (tear) glands and be unassociated with any source of irritation.
Veterinary care often includes diagnostic tests to determine what is causing the epiphora or ocular discharge. Epiphora is initially classified into one of three categories:


Obstruction of tear flow through the nasolacrimal duct system

Reflex stimulation of tears due to ocular irritation

Overproduction of tears by the lacrimal glands (least common)
Treatment

The goals of treating epiphora include 1) eliminating any causes of excessive tearing, 2) eliminating any obstruction to tear flow (if possible), 3) decreasing the irritation caused by the tears themselves, and 4) keeping the face and area around the eye dry and clean. Specific treatment depends on the cause of the epiphora or ocular discharge. There is no general nonspecific treatment for epiphora.

Home Care

Recommendations for home care depend upon the underlying cause of the problem. In addition, some general care is necessary to maintain the health of the eye.

Gently clean away any eye discharge with a sanitary cloth or tissue, and keep the area clean and dry until the cause of the problem is identified.

Do not delay in bringing your pet to a veterinarian for examination as some causes of epiphora, especially those that are sudden in onset are potentially vision threatening and require immediate medical or surgical attention.

When the cause of the epiphora cannot be corrected, or corrective measures fail to resolve the tearing completely, then a daily maintenance routine may be necessary to decrease the adverse effects of the epiphora.

Burmese cats perfect creatures. confident, a cat with a quick face is greater companies to nasal subject concerns, yet that doesn't recommend it rather is fantastic for the cat to stay with those issues. there is something incorrect that could generally be clinically determined and dealt with. it could desire to be an infection, allergy or different problem. Cats that come from rescue centers are uncovered to many skill issues, so it rather is counseled which you're taking her to the vets for a prevalent examination and checkup.

If you cannot afford a vet then u cannot really give them proper care because cats need to c a vet at least once a year to get their vaccine shots which help them to fight colds...Your cats may have upper respiratory infection which is pretty common in cats its like having a cold but they WILL need antibiotics and may be creams for their eyes sooo............You should think about finding someone who will be able to give them the care they need....im not saying youre a bad owner, i applaud you for rescuing them but it takes a lot more than just love to take good care of them im sure u love them alot......Or another alternitive is calling your local humane society and telling them your situation im sure they are more than willing to help you thats what i did...my cat got pregnant with her 2nd litter and i couldnt get a vet in time to terminate her pregnancy which wouldve ran me about a couple hundred dollars plus the spay and they did it for free.....

GOOD LUCK!!!
