My cat has problem with his eyes, Please help?

first of all, being a vet trainee, i can tell you this much: Infection of the tear duct is not common in the cat. Sometimes chronic infection of the upper airways and the conjunctiva (as it may occur in cat flu) can occlude the tear duct. Some often a foreign body has become lodged somewhere from the lacrimal puncta to the nasal punta causing a secondary infection.

Flushing the tear duct with medical treatment consisting of topical and systemic antibiotics usually produces a total cure. The systemic antibiotics are needed as the lower eyelid is usually involved in the infection.

Some cats may be born with defective lacrimal puncta, such as too small puncta (micro-puncta) or missing puncta. These congenital defects may cause . Depending on the defect surgery may solve the problem. basically take that cat back to a vet (try to find a different vet, as the one you're using may not be experienced enough in this catagory) and work together to figure out what to do. the best thing is to keep with the antibiotics.

Ask you vet to check your cat for Lyme disease. Eye problems are often the first manifestation of the problem. The eastern states,plus Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, are all at epidemic levels. If your cat goes outside, consider this an option.

The mouse is the #1 carrier of the bacteria and any thing that sucks it's blood, i.e. flies, chiggers, fleas, tick, mosquitoes, ticks can transmit the disease.

If your cat eats an infected mouse, it becomes a carrier. Then it lays on your bed where a flea jumps off and bites you-bingo bango--you can have Lyme Disease along with your cat.

If you haven't told the vet it's gotten worse you may want to give a call. Also, if you just don't trust the vet anymore you may want to look for one that specializes in cats and not just domestic animals generally.

The only personal advice I can give is it maybe allergies. My cats eyes get puffy when he's around too much dust like human do. but your situation sounds escalated and that needs the expertise of a vet.

Take him to a new vet. Unfortunately there are vets out there that really don't care and are just looking to shut you up and get your money. Try a new vet. They may tell you the tear ducts are clogged and you need different eye drops that you have to use everyday. That happened with my cat.

This goes to sound fairly unusual. Instead of wiping the attention with a damp towel use hot milk. The milk has an impact at the micro organism that's inflicting the attention situation. Next, if the situation keeps keep in mind allergy symptoms. If the release is red, crimson, or brown it's an allergic reaction. It might be seasonal or it might be the meals. DO NOT GIVE PEOPLE MEDS! Instead ask the physician for an allergic reaction shot for the kitty if it will get unhealthy. Poor kitty.

You need to get on the phone and tell the vet this. There may be something more going on with him. Call the vet and tell him exactly what you said here. No one is going to be able to give you a better answer than a professional.

Good Luck.

hi i also have a Siamese male (lilac point) and they are prone to eye probs but also other health worries.. if medication the vet prescribed last time have not cleared it up...then i would take him back.

he may do a blood test to see if any other underlying issues can be ruled out such as feline leukemia virus or feline infectious virus (fel/fiv) . don't be to alarmed many animals have the virus but show no symptoms until a little under the weather.

your statement sounds worrying and if i was at work and took your call i would definitely recommend to got him seen today.

It sounds like your cat has a balance problem too. Have you looked in his ears? If you see black stuff in there, it is ear mites and he needs to see a vet. Even if no black stuff is there, he could have an ear infection, which could affect his balance.

The vet has other stuff you could use for the eyes, if the first stuff didn't clear it up all the way. I'd say another vet visit in in order.
