We've been dealing with some issues this week, back and forth to vet, but I recently noticed I don't think Simba can see at all. He had a tooth extracted a few days ago and is also on meds for corneal ulcers in both eyes. He is not eating at all because he can't find his food and I don't think his sense of smell is very good. He is also unable to find his litter box, which tells me if he could smell he should definitely be able to find his box Could the vision loss be caused by the corneal ulcers? If so, is this permanent or can it be restored? He is currently on Tobramycin drops and Atropine ointment 2x a day for the eyes. I've always heard that cats adjust very well to being blind, however, that doesn't seem to be the case with Simba. He is very confused, walks from room to room, bumping into everything. I have decided to confine him to a small room for now so he doesn't get hurt. I feel so bad for him since this came on so suddently, but the worst part is I cant' get him to drink or eat anything. I just started feeding him Hills Prescription A/D thru a syringe.
I'm open to any thoughts/suggestions. The complete vision loss so suddently puzzles me. His bloodwork came back normal, no major issues there.
