Hi- We rescued a cat last week in a busy parking lot. Its said she was coward in the corner for hours before she was picked up. As soon as I saw her I knew she was blind. We took her to the vet and he did bloodwork and took her BP which was 250. Her bloodwork came back with elevated kidney values too. Vet put her on 5mg once a day of amlodipine. Said hes going to his her hard a 1st to get it down then lower the dose if needed. He examined her eyes and said the pupils are reactive and the retina doesn't appear to be detachment. He believes lowering her BP will lower her kidney values and possibly restore vision, but we're unsure how long the vision loss has been. Recheck BP and bloodwork in 2 weeks. So questions...
1. is 5mg Amlodipine too high? she's been on it since Saturday and isn't acting any different
2. whats the window on vision recovery if it were to come back
Thanks
