Eye infection?
Hi Everyone- I think that Brooklyn AKA Wowie has an eye infection. I noticed he was squinting with his right eye this morning and then looked and it's all pink and swollen and teary. Anything I can do until I get to the vet? -Rebecca

Hi everyone, Bandy has a horrible eye infection of some sort...On Sunday, I found it running and his temp was up again...He just had dex on Thurs. so the temp shouldn't have come up this soon...so I gave him another dex which brought the temp down, but his eye was nearly stuck shut...I cleaned it then put some gentamycin in it..it isn't running now, but is all cloudy...Have any of you experienced this? I am going to call his vet and take him in on Monday asap...the light seems to hurt it...I have another eye med that has a steroid in it, but I am not sure if I should switch at this point or even put anymore of the other in there until he sees the doctor..

[Felvtalk] Oliver has an eye infection
Hi everyone. I am an infrequent poster, except maybe for giving some CRF info, but I read every post. My cat Oliver, a 6 year old Siamese, was diagnosed with the leukemia virus back in December. My Siamese mix, Daisy (4), got really sick suddenly and after two blood transfusions and a lot of meds, she was helped ahead. What an awful experience. Cut to: all of my other cats, including some fosters, were tested and vaccinated. Oliver was the only one out of five cats who came back with positive results after both tests. He has been doing great since then. He is on Pet-Tinic and Omega 3 treats. I tried the Omega 3 oil and he didn't go for it. Today, I noticed that he has a weepy eye and we went straight to the vet's office, it turns out he has an eye infection and is on triple antibiotic ointment. We go back for a check up on Saturday. I am a bit nervous as I know that he has a compromised immune system and I want to make sure that he stays comfortable for a long time. And I am working some long hours so I am not around as much as I would like to be to monitor him. Any words of wisdom are very welcomed.

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
I'm sorry, I haven't been reading the posts because of working, so may have missed some of yours. For my kitties, I give Lysine for URI - 250-500 mg twice a day. If there seems to be an infection, my vet has prescribed Clindamycin, which has worked well. I've used Vitamin C also. I normally don't give steroids for fever and/or URI, because they suppress the immune system, although I certainly don't know for your and Randy, you may have a special situation. Sure hope he gets better fast!

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Hi Kerry, I'm no vet, but I'm wondering if the temp coming back up again so soon and the runny eye are indications of his immune response being so low, (you must be so nervous for him!). I'm glad he's going into the vet today. When my guys get runny eyes, (Star has runny eyes and congestion too), I clean them with cotton balls and saline. If they're gooey, I usually use terramycin too. They usually clear up in a couple of days. The crow I rescued had gooey eyes and the crow rehabber suggested terramycin for him too. I'm not familiar with gentamycin, but it sounds like the same sort of med. Is it an antibiotic ointment? Star's runny eyes are chronic and I've been cleaning them every morning and that seems to keep them clear all day. I'm anxious to hear about Bandy, please let us know as soon as you can.

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Hi all, We got in just before lunch today...She said I did the right thing with the other eye drops that I have which contains dex as well...I think I said that I gave him a dex for his temp, too..anyway, the temp is down and no runny eye today...The odd thing about it all was that his eye was cloudy...the colored part kept gettting more cloudy as the day went on Sunday...Light seemed to really hurt him.. The doctor said that he didn't have a rupture or any sort of abrasion...she put some drops in it and looked at it with a black light then she looked at it really good with the other instrument...Today the cloudiness has fallen to the lower part of the eye...it is inside the eye ball...she called it fibrigin, I think...due to his Felv and FIV.. On Sunday, it wouldn't even dilate and she said that is why he didn't want to be in the light because it was causing him pain... So he is on the antibiotic/steroid drops 3x a day for 10 days then we re-check...He seems to feel better today...I am going to add the lysin to his supplements...I thought I should have done that along time ago, but I guess I thought it only helped stomatitis..I did some more reading and remembered that you all and Nina had told me about using it...

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Hi, Kerry. My positive Buddy got that when he got really sick, and my horse Pepsi had it the last few years of her life. The cloudiness usually means uveitis, which is a swelling in the cornea, I think, and is treated with steroids, either in ointment or prednisolone drops if needed. BUT I would not put steroids in there until you get it stained and looked at by your vet, because if it is a cut instead of uveitis and you put a steroid on it you can make it much worse and cause blindness. I would get him looked at, and if it is uveitis treat it with a topical steroid. Cats with FeLV are apparently more prone to uveitis. It can also be a sign of something like lymphoma or FIP, but give how long Bandy's infection problems have been going on I would bet it is just from the FeLV. I would get it looked at soon though. Eyes are not something to wait long about. Let us know what happens, Michelle In a message dated 1/30/2006 2:50:42 A.M.

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Kerry, I did not see this when I sent the other email. I am glad you got him in to the vet. It sounds just like uveitis, which steroids do help. Uveitis can be kept under control with steroids if caught early enough. I unfortunately did not get it properly diagnosed with my horse Pepsi at first (a bad vet told me her eye was runny from the summer flies, which did not even make sense since it was only one eye!) and she went blind in the eye before it was finally diagnosed as uveitis by another vet. It's called Moon Blindness in horses, because it comes on so fast. She occasionally needed steroids in it even after she lost the sight in it or it would get painful or weepy. I watched her other eye like a hawk after that. All of which is to say -- keep an eye on it, no pun intended! Michelle In a message dated 1/30/2006 3:29:12 P.M.

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Thanks Michelle for the info...but what do I look for in the other eye? He had no signs of anything the day before so this came on rather sudden...That day I found his eye runny and all cloudy...Now, it isn't running anymore and hasn't really since I started the meds, but in the bottom of it inside the eye ball itself is a hazy spot...She didn't call it uveitis either, but I didn't know to ask that at the time either...she has an eye chart in the exam room and his eye didn't look like any of them...there were more than 20 different kitty eye disorders on that chart...Also, the first day his eye wouldn't dilate either and now it does and just has that spot (which looks like it is inside the eye ball). It is sorta brownish/grey...He is playing and eating good again...only that one day was he out of it, but his temp was up, too..Wonder if I should give him about 10 days of pred, too? 5mg for 5 days then 2.5 mg for another 5 days..as I did read about this after you mentioned it to me...and it did say in some places that oral steroids were needed on occasion...just wondering if you did this, too.. I know it is another mystery in Bandy's situation... I am giving him 500 to 1000mg of lysine a day now, too...should have done that all along, but just didn't know it..Since the other kitties eat with him, I figured it would be good for them as well...they are all on the same supplements since they do eat together...Little Rascal needs his heart supps. so most of the same can be used for both him and Bandy..

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Kerry, The hazy spot does sound like uveitis to me, but that is the only eye condition I have experience with so it is possible that it is a symptom of other things that I don't know about too. So who knows if I am right or not. Buddy was on oral pred also, but that was because he had either lymphoma or FIP and was terminally ill. He was on a lot of steroids (dex and depo eventually) his last few months. Whether they helped with his eye or not, I don't know. I think that prednisolone eye drops helped the most-- definitely more than the ointment did. But he was only supposed to get those drops short-term and when I stopped them the cloudiness increased again, so I went back to using them again even though I was not supposed to, because it kept him more comfortable and he did not have much time left. I think you need to be more careful with Bandy, because hopefully he does not have a terminal condition right now and will be around long enough that bad effects of meds could catch up with him. But you might want to ask about prednisolone drops for a few days (I think it was for 10 days or something like that). When I said to watch the other eye, I just meant to look at it closely every day and if he gets any symptoms in it to talk to the vet right away about treating it. There are so many things that can cause a runny eye in a cat that it might seem normal to take a wait and see approach if it is not bothering him, but if he does have uveitis you want to make sure you treat right away. However, I don't mean to make you feel panicked about it. I have this feeling mostly from Pepsi, my horse, because she lost her sight in that eye due to her uveitis going undiagnosed and untreated for too long. But I am pretty sure the uveitis affects horses more quickly than it does cats-- they call it "moon blindness" in horses because it tends to come on quickly and cause blindness. Did you so an internet search on feline uveitis? You might find some info that way that could help you figure out if it is what he has, and if so info on treating it.

Re: Bandy has an eye infection
Hi Michelle, I mix the lysine in Bandy's food. Right now he is eating fancy feast salmon or some other fishy flavor or Salmon Science Diet..I top it with low sodium tuna since Little Rascal eats with him and has a heart condtion...I have to keep it low sodium because of Lil Rascal..and he eats his meds better with it topped with tuna... I mix the lysine, bovine colostrum, Co Q 10 and folic acid in every meal..I try to feed them 3 meals this way for sure and sometimes 4..Lil Rascal also gets a cardio supp in some of his meals, but sometimes, they just won't eat it so I have to switch around..If I add some corn oil to it and make it a little slushy, they eat it well... So it is hard to really tell how much lysine Bandy gets, but I use 2- 500mg pills a day mixed in these meals...they both have been eating good for now.. Can you put some lysine in the water bowl? I was wondering if that would be ok to do..I do know that Bandy and his 2 buddies should all benefit from all the supplements..Like I mentioned, I just have to try to watch the sodium since Lil Rascal is on lasix for congestive heart failure. Bandy's eye seems to be doing ok, but I sure don't like that spot that is in it..or whatever it is...I take him back to the vet in a week or so, but he is still on eye drops with dex in it until then...

Re: [Felvtalk] Oliver has an eye infection
How about using Standard Process Feline Immune System Support (and Feline Whole Body Support) instead of Pet-Tinic, which has a lot of species-inappropriate things in it?

I'm a big fan of Standard Process products thanks to my holistic vet and my regular vet.

Re: [Felvtalk] Oliver has an eye infection
Just avoid Spinelife, as they take forever to send things. Often homeopathic pharmacies carry SP.If you have to wait a long time, then you can get some Thymus extract to tide you over.
