Allergies, irritation or infection are all possibilities. Place an e-collar (cone) on Tigger to prevent trauma from excess or rough rubbing. Have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the cause. Your vet will check for obstructed tear ducts, corneal injury, decreased tear production and infection.
