Both conditions have come up on TCS and there may be some helpful information there.
It could be EosinophilicKeratitis, 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.
Lots of cats live good lives with no teeth, they manage to eat well without them.
Is the keratitis the same as eosinophilickeratitis, if so I had a cat with that and managed to get it into remission and stay there with a particular eye drop.
...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 eosinophilickeratitis, 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...
...(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 eosinophilickeratitis, 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...
I extensively researched both ABK and EosinophilicKeratitis 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 EosinophilicKeratitis from the symptoms, pictures and...
...one day and look fine the next. I took him to a specialist and she commented that she found eosinophils. So googling I found eosinophilickeratitis. 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...
BTW the more I read about Pickles EosinophilicKeratitis, the more it looks like Plasma Cell pododermatitis and EosinophilicKeratitis 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...
Hi verna davies, I'd like to ask if your cat ever sneezed as well?
My Leopold also had/has EosinophilicKeratitis (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...
...is cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant, and Isathal is an antibiotic. It makes sense to give her the cyclosporine because EosinophilicKeratitis 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...
...before, though with how many inspections he has received and the symptoms and physical signs that are associated with EosinophilicKeratitis, 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...
...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 "EosinophilicKeratitis", 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...
...cats, all female, awaiting introduction to newest family member, little boy 3 years old, tuxedo, some visual impairment, has eosinophilickeratitis, on meds for same.
Has been stable in foster home, noticed he uses his paws a lot when you are near him, "helps" get gtts. by holding your hands...
I have also used VRCC and both opthamologists there are fabulous! We were lucky to catch Sammy's eosinophilickeratitis 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...
My experience is similar to yours. My cat has eosinophilickeratitis (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.
...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, eosinophilickeratitis 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...
...times daily 5 minutes after the prednisolone acetate and 500 mg L-lysine with food twice daily. This is what the vet wrote: "Eosinophilickeratitis is an immune mediated condition. Because herpesvirus is often seen in association with this condition it is best to treat for both." He looks...
