My kitten is now 7mths old and weighs 600g
She had severe diarrhea and a prolapse rectum from week 10 to week 16 or so.
Vets wanted to put her down and refused to test.
With ProKolin (bought online after advice, vet was useless) and boiled chicken broth she turned it around and seemed to bounce back. Started to put on weight, from her measly 375g.
2 weeks ago I noticed a shadow on her eye in photos. I emailed them to an ophthalmologist vet, in a different clinic to my usual (lost faith) and was advised to bring her in. Overnight her eyes swelled.
Was told she had glaucoma, cateracts and was 100% blind, with severe pressure in the eyes. However, the pressure reduced again and had a good week waiting on blood test results.
Was told it was probably FIP.
Good news, she passed all the blood tests, no FIP and everything else they tested for (still awaiting toxoplasmosis)
they kept her in overnight last night to trial some eye drops but today they are still none the wiser.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause these issues?
Shes a happy playful kitten, who you'd swear isn't blind... Shes got a great appetite, and although she is very cuddly and lazy a lot of the time, she does play when she wants to and winds up big Drew.
The vets are thinking of putting her to sleep, which I refuse to allow and will fight all the way. We've got through so much.
