Hi gang,
Ok, here's the scoop.
After 2 months now, I've gone through various antibiotics and one of my cat's eye is still - well,orange (bloodshot) and that opaque hazy look, with reddish inflamed sclera. No eye discharge at all. Fluorescein stain test - no scratches. Eye pressure test - no problem, Sight test - not blind.
Vet predication? Virus with 2ndary bacterial infection.
I have an appointment in a few weeks to see a specialist - Vet. ophthalmologist.
In the meantime, I'm continuing antibiotic eye drops + L-Lysine + Lactoferrin in his food.
If this is herpes, or URI related, how long should it take to see a positive effect? Thus far it's been ~ 2 weeks on L-Lysine (500mg x2 /day ) and ~ 3 days on Lactoferrin (125mg x2/day)
I also put probiotics into his food just to keep him regular I suppose.
thanks,
Marc
