Need a little help here folks. Opinions? Experience with this?
Here's the situation:
Our 4 month old girl, Octavia got her rabies shot on the 26th of June. Her siblings also got theirs and they are fine.
On the 2nd of July I noticed she appeared to be having trouble seeing and her pupils were much more dilated than her siblings, but still would react to light changes. However she could not track toys or play as usual, as she simply could not see them. She does appear to see shadows and motion.
Took her right to the Vet. Her temp was 105.5 but no other signs of illness at all. Vet examined her eyes and concluded there was no damage or abnormalities. He's stumped as to what is going on.
She's eating fine, drinking water, using the litterbox, sleeping normally, no poop issues, absolutely no other signs other than that high fever and the blindness.
Vet gave her a penicillin shot, a Metacam shot and put her on Clavamox. As of today there is no change aside from the fever subsiding.
I'm baffled. I've heard and read that the Rabies Vax can cause problems in some animals. I've done some research online about this, but am not coming up with much about cats. Just dogs.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
I'm going to take her to NC State if this doesn't resolve by Monday.
