OK, what is your name and what is your cat;s name. It helps me keep people straight.
You will want to bookmark this site http://www.marvistavet.com/html/enrofloxacin.html This is was it says about Baytril and blindness. "Retinal damage has been seen in cats when higher doses (such as might be used to treat a Pseudomonas ear infection) are used. This reaction is not common even with very high doses, but there is no way to predict which cats will react. Blindness, temporary or permanent, can result. This reaction has only been reported with enrofloxacin and not with other fluoroquinolones, as it is theorized that the biochemical structure of enrofloxacin leads to especially high concentrations in the feline eye (in other words, this reaction is theoretically possible with any fluoroquinolones but enrofloxacin is especially predisposed to causing this reaction)." Yes blindness has occurred but in very high doses. That is not what you are dealing with.
