My cat was sick this morning after he was grooming himself but afterwards I noticed a tear stain on one eye, should I be worried about this? Or is it similar to a humans eyes watering after being sick?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Buttons! I think it could be. If he keeps vomiting or the eye continues to tear excessively or he starts to blink the eye then he should be seen by your Vet. I wish Buttons the best!
