Hello, everyone!
One of my kitties is pretty down recently. Here is the report from Animal Eye Specialty Clinic:
*****************************************
OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION:
Pupillary light response: present direct and consensual both eyes
Menace response: present / visual both eyes
Right eye: lower lid nasal entropion of the nasal 1/3 of the eyelid, normal ocular exam
Left eye: same as the right eye
Corneal stain: negative both eyes
DIAGNOSIS: lower lid entropion – both eyes, genetic vs. secondary to feline herpes virus unknown
ASSESSMENT: we discussed if lubricating the eyes does not control the squinting and inflammation the lids should be surgically averted. Additionally we discussed we may need to treat for herpes virus in the future if there is recurrent inflammation.
MEDICATION: Genteal Teargel – apply a small amount to BOTH eyes 3 times daily
******************************************
My 2 kitties were found on a construction site when they were only about 4 or 5 weeks old. And later on tested for Leukemia positive. Spayed/neutered @ 5 and half months.
The boy is orange with white paws; the other is a calico girl. They are almost 11 months now.
In September my roommate found a stray kitten in front of the house and brought it in: another calico girl 5 weeks old! I kept her in the bathroom alone, and posted online waiting for somebody to adopt her..
Unfortunately meantime, I guess she scratched his eye. When I found out his lower eyelid turned inward, I brought him to the vet, and diagnosed ulcer. Then the vet performed a surgery, saying that it would fix both the ulcer and the eyelid.
However after the surgery, his eyelids still grow inward, and his pupils are always very small no matter in bright light or dark place.
In the last 2 weeks he’s been very down, sleeping most of the time. Last week, the vet kept him for a whole day, found nothing… then referred me to the eye specialist.
If any of you, by any chance, could tell what kind of problem it could be?
Coz there were 3 doctors came in and did the same kind of examination. Even with the assessment, I don’t think they really know the exact reason/ problem.
And right now, I don’t hope my boy go through another surgery in a rush way.
Appreciate all your attention and help!!
