We have an older cat, Noodle, who recently went to the vet for shot and ear mite medicine. Recently being just over a week ago. I have no idea what the ear mite stuff was, but the rest was just regular shots and a worm pill (drontal?). Yesterday, my son noticed that she's been batting at nothing, and I looked at her eyes. He pupils are almost completely dialated. Same this morning. But at the vet, her eyes were fine. We had another cat (older, though) who went blind, but that seemed more gradual and she was very old. Noodle is maybe 12. Kiki was about 16. Is there anything I can do for her? I don't know that I trust our local vet with anything more than routine stuff.
Other background: we currently have 10 cats. 5 are indoor-outdoor (including Noodle). The other 5 are kittens born this past August (there were six, one is with a cousin). We live in the country, and people dump animals. We don't have much money for the vet. Of the 10 cats here, only 2 are cats we actually looked for. Anyway, there are a lot of cats here.
So, do cats suddenly go blind like this? Is there anything we can do at home?
