    what's wrong with my cat's eye?

    It could be Eosinophilic Keratitis, it looks similar but I cant be sure. You may have to see a specialist. If it is EK I have had a cat with it and she recovered well with specific daily eye drops.

    a little bit of support

    he said that he was pretty sure that it wasn't eosinophilic keratitis because it wasn't as cloudy as he would typically see in those cases.

    a little bit of support

    Lots of cats live good lives with no teeth, they manage to eat well without them. Is the keratitis the same as eosinophilic keratitis, if so I had a cat with that and managed to get it into remission and stay there with a particular eye drop.

    Advice needed for eye specialist appointment

    ...advice. We're going to the vet in two days, hopefully we can get a cytology done. In the meantime I've done my homework on eosinophilic keratitis, and while I'm happily surprised to see that there's quite a bit of research that has been done for this condition, trying to figure out which...

    Advice needed for eye specialist appointment

    ...(probably herpes) that my cat has can cause problems to the eyes. It didn’t look like an ulcer, so I thought maybe it could be eosinophilic keratitis, as the pictures looked quite similar to what my cat had. Apparently herpes is linked to this, and as stress can cause flare-ups and my cat is...

    Feline Acute Bullous Keratopathy (FABK)?

    I extensively researched both ABK and Eosinophilic Keratitis because I wanted to understand the differences. They were the two that I wanted to look at because I figured it was one or the other for sure. It seems more in line with ABK than Eosinophilic Keratitis from the symptoms, pictures and...

    Autoimmune eye issue -- Anyone with recent experience?

    ...one day and look fine the next. I took him to a specialist and she commented that she found eosinophils. So googling I found eosinophilic keratitis. He hasn't ever presented with cornea issues just inflammation around the eye. The eye-doctor had him on a steroid drop which he absolutely...

    Swollen Paw Issues.

    BTW the more I read about Pickles Eosinophilic Keratitis, the more it looks like Plasma Cell pododermatitis and Eosinophilic Keratitis are related. Two manifestations of a similar thing. Different, yet similar. One of the sad similar parts seems to be that no one knows why or how. *Sigh* Looks...

    Eosinophilic Kerititis

    Hi verna davies, I'd like to ask if your cat ever sneezed as well? My Leopold also had/has Eosinophilic Keratitis (supposed from the feline herpes virus FHV). He developed a corneal lesion and was sent to the eye specialist who cleared his lesion with drops of Idoxuridine (3x day) and...

    Eosinophilic Kerititis

    ...is cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant, and Isathal is an antibiotic. It makes sense to give her the cyclosporine because Eosinophilic Keratitis is an autoimmune disease, so if you can suppress the immune system in the eye, it should make things better. I guess the antibiotic is to protect the...

    Cat Eye Ulcer And Infection

    ...before, though with how many inspections he has received and the symptoms and physical signs that are associated with Eosinophilic Keratitis, I would be bowled over if it was that. There must definitely be an ulcer though, that much I'm sure of (Actually, I'm not sure of anything, that's...

    Cat Eye Infection, Sclera Red And Seams To Dissolve

    ...only thing the vet thought it could be was either a small injury, which she couldn't find any signs for or a disease called "Eosinophilic Keratitis", but she also tested that and it came out negative. So we got topical antibiotic treatment, which I applied to his eye twice daily for a week...

    Feline Herpes virus and famciclovir

    I have also used VRCC and both opthamologists there are fabulous! We were lucky to catch Sammy's eosinophilic keratitis early so any new sign of herpes in my old guy is quickly taken care of with ofloxacin and l-lysine, which is easy to put into wet food (thank goodness, I would be having your...

    Feline Herpes virus and famciclovir

    My experience is similar to yours. My cat has eosinophilic keratitis (in remission) related to feline herpes. My feline ophthalmologist recommended the famciclovir as more effective and it seems to work but then so does the l-lysine I have used.

    Feline Herpes virus and famciclovir

    ...some cats than others and I seem to be one of the lucky ones with a kitty who responds well to it if given at first signs. FY, eosinophilic keratitis at the mild end of the range is manageable but as it progresses it is a horrible inflammation that can cause ulceration and blindness so I am...

    I quit, I'm done

    ...times daily 5 minutes after the prednisolone acetate and 500 mg L-lysine with food twice daily. This is what the vet wrote: "Eosinophilic keratitis is an immune mediated condition. Because herpesvirus is often seen in association with this condition it is best to treat for both." He looks...
