Hi everyone,
I've posted a couple times about my kitty's eye issues and progressive uveitis that was not responding to treatment over the course of 3 months. Her eye was removed 2 weeks ago and we now have a cryptococcus diagnosis. Her only symptom was this massive eye inflammation. She has some flat, black dandruffy spots on her back, but they look nothing like the lesions that I have seen other members post. She has no other symptoms physically or neurologically. Her vets were pretty shocked with the diagnosis as I guess this fungus is not really ever seen in my part of the country-neither vet had ever seen it in a cat before mine.
So, does anyone have any experience with a kitty with cryptococcus? The treatment sounds pretty daunting and of course I'm nervous things could get worse!!
Thank you!!
