I don't know if anyone can throw any light on my cat's eye infection, but here goes. My old Cypriot rescue cat has had a badly infected eye for about two weeks, I took him to the vet as soon as I saw he had a problem, he inspected the eye and said there was some dirt in it which he removed. Cat on antibiotic eye drops and steroid drop two/three times a day, no improvement, took him back, eye examined under anaesthetic, no foreign body or damage found, eye flushed and medication continued. still no improvement. He has been scratching his head over the eye for a week or two before infection, with an area of scab, we thought we had been fighting. Since the infection he has stopped scratching, is it possible for a sharp fb to have entered the orbital bone and been driven in by his scratching ? I know this is a long shot, but I can't think of anything else, as the infection was treated immediately. He is going in again for another inspection tomorrow, but the suggestion is that I travel about 80 miles with him to a veterinary eye hospital at £148 just for the consultation. Any thoughts please ?
Thanks, Jackie
