Why do cats become blind?
Lots or reasons. But the number One reasonwe have found is by an untreated upper respiratoryinfection with an eye infection. A box of antibiotics would have saved the sight of the majority of the cats in our care.By far, viruses are the most common cause of upperrespiratory infections in cats. Feline calicivirus andfeline herpes virus account for 80-90% of allcontagious upper respiratory problems. Cats often develop bacterial infections secondary to thesecommon viral infections.
Had Charity been treated by a vet she may not have become blind.General Symptoms of Upper Respiratory Infections:Symptoms differ depending on the cause &location of the infection, but some of thecommon clinical signs are: * Sneezing * Congestion * Runny nose * Cough * Clear to color nasal discharge * Gaggin, drooling * Fever * Loss or decreased appetite * Nasal and oral ulcers * Squinting or rubbing eyes.If your cat is showing any signs of an upperrespiratory infection, Please take them to the vet.How to prevent your cat from getting an upperrespiratory infection? * Keep your cat indoors to minimize the risk of exposure to infected animals. * Keep your cat up to date on vaccines as recommended by your vet. * Regular exams and preventive care can catch and treat problems early. A cat’s best defense is a healthy immune system. Cat Updates
