Sudden Blindness In younger Cat,Please HELP with any info!!!

Cat went blind suddenly, he can see some, but has big pupils ( thought when he sleeps they constrict) but do not constrict to daylight..

Went to 3 vets, He is on Pred drops, pred oral, fungal med,and antibiotic, plus homeopathic and colloidal silver. we don't know how it  happened .. he got sick with high fever for 2 days and then was fine.. then while on his leash he was scared up a tree by a  wild dog that came into my yard.. So could have been neck trama from pulling off collar? or from the short sickness that came out of the blue?

So people on here have had great success stories of healing blindness, like it may take weeks to heal?

Anyone that has experience or any info Please LMK.ASAP.. he has another appointment with a optometrist in 2 weeks since they are all on conference till then.. Wondering if he will make it till then.. Of the 3 vets ..2 say they cant see any eye damage  and one says he seeing a small 5 % retail detach yet no tear.. So what to do? PLEASE HELP..

I am sorry you haven't had any replies to your question sooner than this - the site can be quiet at weekends with not so many people viewing.

I have had 2 older cats lose their sight, but it was gradual rather than sudden so they had time to acclimatise and you would hardly know they had little or no vision unless you knew them well and watched carefully.  I believe it is much harder for cats when the loss is sudden and really hope that your cat is managing around your home, and is not showing distress.         While it can be really hard for a cat to find their way around and manage their daily things like feeding when the loss has been sudden, they can learn quickly how to orientate, and compensate for the visual loss pretty fast.   A cat's vision is not as acute as ours, and they use their other senses a lot more than humans do, so compensating with things like whisker sensation, smell and sound can kick in fast if you keep your cat in a familiar and safe home environment.  My elderly cats even learned to run about leaping from one bit of furniture to another and going about their regular night crazies one chasing the other as if there was no change at all!  I had to try and not move things about too much but that was all.

With humans, trauma can cause a retina to detach, as can high blood pressure, so I am thinking it may be related to the trauma you describe with the dog and the tree.   If you can keep him inside, not move things around too much, and try to keep him as calm and comfortable as you can this will help him acclimatize to his situation, and if his sight is going to recover this will also give healing a good chance.   Minimizing stress will be the best thing you can do until he can meet the specialist.    

Smelly food might also be a good idea, and talking, making familiar sounds so that he knows you are around for him.   

As long as you've been to a Vet (more than one, I see), and they've checked him out and he doesn't have a high blood pressure issues,or any other health issues that caused this,  then there is no reason why he shouldn't "make it" as you put it.  He may never recover his eye sight...this can be very unpredictable, but cat's learn to get along well with new disabilities and as long as you don't suddenly rearrange the furniture, or leave cabinet doors open when they are normally closed, that sort of thing, he should be fine.  Normally, this sort of thing effects the humans far worse that the cats.  Of course, it's upsetting to the cats, but they do quickly adapt, and the younger they are, the quicker they adapt. 

One of our former Advisors has a blind cat who does amazing things...even climbs ladders.    Here is that cat's facebook page: www.facebook.com/jennytheblindcat
