Subject: Re: Bandy has an eye
infection
Hi, Kerry. My positive Buddy got that when he got really sick, and
my horse Pepsi had it the last few years of her life. The cloudiness usually
means uveitis, which is a swelling in the cornea, I think, and is treated with
steroids, either in ointment or prednisolone drops if needed. BUT I would not
put steroids in there until you get it stained and looked at by your vet,
because if it is a cut instead of uveitis and you put a steroid on it you can
make it much worse and cause blindness. I would get him looked at, and
if it is uveitis treat it with a topical steroid. Cats with FeLV are
apparently more prone to uveitis. It can also be a sign of something like
lymphoma or FIP, but give how long Bandy's infection problems have been going
on I would bet it is just from the FeLV. I would get it looked at soon
though. Eyes are not something to wait long about.
Let us know what happens,
Michelle

Hi everyone,
Bandy has a horrible eye infection of some sort...On Sunday, I found it
running and his temp was up again...He just had dex on Thurs. so the temp
shouldn't have come up this soon...so I gave him another dex which brought
the temp down, but his eye was nearly stuck shut...I cleaned it then put
some gentamycin in it..it isn't running now, but is all cloudy...Have any of
you experienced this? I am going to call his vet and take him in on
Monday asap...the light seems to hurt it...I have another eye med that has a
steroid in it, but I am not sure if I should switch at this point or even
put anymore of the other in there until he sees the doctor..
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions..and if I should
supplement him with something else now...
Thanks so much,
Kerry and Bandy
