Hello! We have a beautiful Ragdoll kitty named Willow. She was born in October 2016 and was the cutest Christmas kitty ever for our family’s Christmas that year. She has been an inside and outdoor cat in her life but since Covid, she has mostly inside. The only time she goes outside now is just to lay on our back porch or in the grass next to the garage. Last spring, she went outside for the first time in months and sat outside in the sunshine (and grass) for about an hour and then came in. A few days later, I noticed her R.eye was a little pink and watery so I thought she poked her eye while laying in the grass. Then she started sneezing and was actually sniffly! She started sleeping a lot more and not eating so after a vet consultation, I was told she had the “cat flu”. We treated the symptoms, did all the things suggested and she recovered and healed! But it seems like her R. eye has never been quite the same. Fast forward to a just few days ago, she seemed to be gazing and looking up at the ceiling and walls and kind of venturing slowly around like she wasn’t sure where she was going. We had to go out of town for a funeral over the weekend but my oldest son checked on her constantly and gave me updates which was her eating and sleeping in her bed. When we got home last night, she met us at the door and meowed and meowed and was so happy but it seemed like she couldn’t really see us. She still walks around the house but gingerly and doesn’t actually bump into walls but senses them and then stops. She’s never had a health crisis, always healthy except for the cat flu/cat herpes but I did call MedVet and they said to take her to a Cat Opthamalogist? I mean, are cats at risk for blindness like that? I just thought I should get some additional insight. Thank you so much in advance.
