Our cat was asleep in front of our fireplace when I noticed she wasn't
moving or responding. I pulled her away and she appeared unconscious and
felt extrememy hot. The next day her pupils were huge and the vet said she
was had detached retinas from high blood pressure (190 over something). She
said her kidneys felt very small and unless put on a special diet and
tablets she would die in a few months.
She said the hot fire wouldn't have caused it as it is a long term problem
and although I believe the cat has high blood pressure, the fact that she
went suddenly blind overnight doesn't add up. Can high temperatures cause a
cats eyes to literally burst inside?
