Cloudy Eye in one eyed Cat

whezrsfriend - 28 Oct 2005 01:15 GMT
I know there is going to be some moron on this group who will post "take
it to the vet" AFTER IVE already SAID I CANNOT afford to do that.
Besides most vets don't do any better than I do after I've researched
the issue.

I have a cat who I adopted as a stray who is getting along in years. It
had a serious infection when I first got it on the side of the head  and
we treated it and it survived with antibiotics. However it lost that
eye, which is still there, but blind.

The other eye is starting to get cloudy-like a dull milky film. What
meds can I order from a vet supply store to treat this eye so as to
extend it's life? I hate to see this cat go totally blind and then I
will have to put it to sleep I guess or let it suffer. He can still see,
but probably his vision in the remaining eye is not too good. I'd say it
is around 10% or more opaque. He still seems to get around ok.

Please respond to the question only, I will ignore idiots who start
moralizing me about taking the cat to the vet. Vets are outrageous
nowadays and many are incompetent, just as regular doctors here in the
USA. And then they act like they are doing you a big favor by seeing
you. Not all, but many.
whezrsfriend - 28 Oct 2005 01:21 GMT
Also, would it hurt to use some cat antibiotic eye drops in that eye,
given previously for infection in other eye?

this site suggests infection or cataracts:
http://netscape.petplace.com/articles/artShow.asp?artID=414

this site has information including advice about blind cats:
http://www.vetinfo.com/cateye.html

bear in mind that a blind cat is not necessarily suffering
many blind pets carry on just fine, they know their own environment and
can cope quite well, just as blind people do!

Please consider NOT taking in animals that you cannot
care for. It isn't fair to them. Your cat needs to see the vet, whether or
not you can afford it. Vets are not that expensive--many of us here take our
cats in regularly and know this.

Still didn't answer how old in the cat
the reason I ask that is at a certain age you can expect cataracts, eye
infections come easier, glaucoma,  hypopyon, anterior uveitis, retinal
hemorrhage, retinal detachment

since you are not going to vet unless absolutly necessary try this
home pet examination
http://netscape.petplace.com/Articles/artShow.asp?artID=2690&q=cloudy+eye

information can be found on this site about above problems

the medications taht was used before for the other infection may not even be
necessary.  take a look at the information  we might be able to help   BUT

Thanks for the link. I didn't answer because I have no idea how
old he is. He is arthritic, hard of hearing and sleeps alot. I
give him lots of affection and good food. He loves me and will
allow me to touch him anywhere, even though when I first adopted
him from a dead neighbor (b4 he was a stray), he was frightened of
all people and would not allow anyone near him. He almost died
from the infection and I have taken him to the vet b4, but the
vets here are real a*hole s in contrast to vets I know as a child
who were wonderful. Plus they are outrageous in their fees-totally
outrageous imo. The ones I've seen here have little or no concern
for animals, it is only  business to them. It is probably a
cataract or glaucoma, does not look like it is infected. Just
would like to delay or prevent his going blind in second eye. I am
smart, I will research it thoroughly and order from a vet supply
firm.

No, No, No!  I'm not responding to your question, but I do want to emphasize
the point that a cat *does not* need to be "put to sleep" merely because it
is blind, and your cat does not need to suffer.  I speak from experience.
Duffy is totally blind, and he is a dear, sweet, good-natured cat -- and
also a remarkably happy and active cat.  He is a little gymnast who loves to
climb, so he gets a great deal of exercise by using his "vertical space"
instead of running wildly through the house on a horizontal level.  On the
other hand, he moves around the house so easily that I have had visitors who
watched him for 15 or 20 minutes before they realized he is blind.  So,
*please* do not even consider euthanasia as an "option" even if your cat
loses sight in his other eye.  If you look at the albums below my signature,
you can see Duffy at play.

We had a cat that got cataracts as he got older. He was blind several
years and got around fine. I could even get him to "play" with a pencil
or stick by tickling his whiskers. He totally will adjust if he goes
blind. We just didn't move the furniture much.

We have a blind cat at the shelter; he stays in the play area of the staff
building.  The kids love Charley to death they find it " cool " that he can
be blind and still play like a kitten.  He knows when I walk in the door and
he comes a meowing; he knows I carry treats in my pockets for my four legged
children.  When my wife comes in she better have her hands free or Charley
will trip her up into she picks him up.  YES WE SPOIL THE CHILDREN

You really need to get this cat to a vet ASAP. It may mean the
difference between him retaining his vision or going blind (and just
because a cat goes blind doesn't mean he is suffering and must be
killed). The thing is, unless you know the exact cause of the eye issue,
there is no way to know how to treat it.  All eye problems are not equal
and there is not a one-size-fits-all cure. Even more problematic is the
fact that there are many eye medications that can make the eye worse if
you are using the wrong one. And finally, anything that may be effective
as a treatment will most likely require a prescription from the vet.
Please borrow the money and get your cat to the vet so you can get the
right treatment for him and hopefully save his remaining good eye. It's
the right thing to do and if you try hard enough I believe you'll find a
way.

I have 25 cats to care for on a one person salary and sorry, but most of
my money pays for their care, including **whatever vet care is necessary
at the time it is necessary,** regardless of whether it's convenient for
me or not. If I'm broke there's always a credit card or I'll find extra
work. If I had to pawn or sell something I would do that too. I don't
spend my time whining about being broke. Instead I use that time in a
constructive fashion to make sure I get whatever finances are needed.

The bottom line here is you have taken responsibility for another living
being that is unable to help themselves, therefore it is on you to do
what's right and get your cat the help he needs.

>I figure it will be around $150.

An office call and medication should not cost $150. Probably half that.

And to tell other people how to spend their money and when to borrow.
As I predicted in my OP there would be one moron who cannot read and
ignore my caveat that I cannot take it to the vet and still tell me
to do so. You win the award. Your like the liberals who go around
telling others whom they should support with their tax money. Most of
the people I know who have 25 cats also have a loose screw, you are
no exception. I have no responsiblity to this cat who was a stray.It
would have been dead a long time ago if not for me. I you want to
spend your finances on cats, go ahead, just don't go around telling
others they have to follow your edicts.

I really think if you have the money you have a responsiblity as a
cat lover to loan me the money.I'm waiting for your phone number, or
you can just give me your address and I come on over.

An altruistic sociopath.  There's one for the books.

You could probably make enough money to get your cat treated by becoming a
research subject in a psychiatric institution.

The minute you take the cat in you absolutely do have a responsibility
for him.

That doesn't justify your current cruel treatment and neglect of this
poor animal, and now it is suffering and becoming blind because of you.
If you care so little for the welfare of this animal, find it a good
home with someone that is willing to care for it properly.

When you post to usenet, you open the door for opinions and comments. If
you don't like the answers you receive then maybe you should stop asking
questions.

Sorry, but I have nothing to give you as I just spent a chunk of money
on a stray that was neglected and unspayed:
http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=8507601&uid=476350

She's now back to good health and I found her a really wonderful home
with a family that is very responsible and doesn't hesitate to take
their animals to the vet immediately when something is wrong.  It's a
travesty that your cat is not so blessed.

whezrsfriend,

I know that you have said that you will not spend the money to take the cat
to the vet.  I'm not sure if that means that you can't afford to spend
anything, or just are not willing to seek help by whatever means, or you are
so certain that all vets are nothing but greedy and incompetent and don't
want to take a chance that you might find one who would prove you wrong.

Let's put aside all other concerns and focus on what will help the cat
because the cat need help and cannot help itself.

Here are some things you can do:

You can call local rescue groups and ask for recommendations of what to do
with this cat.

There may be someone on this group who lives near you or has knowledge of a
vet near you who is competent. Are you willing to put aside for a moment
your conviction that all vets are greedy and incompetent and state the
general area where you are in order to let them help you locate a suitable
vet?

If a suitable vet is found, are you willing to call the vet with a
description of the cat's problem and ask for an estimate of the cost of
treatment?

Will you post here how much you are willing to pay to help this cat who
cannot help itself?

Will you provide to this group the vet's estimate of the treatment and how
the vet may be located so that anyone interested could donate the money
directly to the vet for that cat's situation.

 I doubt that anyone would consider giving you personal loan, considering
your hostile attitude and disrespect, but there are people here who care
about the cat and might help, in spite of your belief that we are all
"morons" or other name calling on your part.

But in the end it is up to you to do your part.  And, yes, you may not have
asked for it, but without you taking on your responsibility, nobody here can
help the cat.

As for Megan, you will not find anyone who has done more for the cats in her
care and the cats she has rescued and placed in loving homes.

Best wishes for helping this cat.

I spoke to many about this with a dog I had. I came to the
conclusion that they are all pretty bad-very expensive and
uncaring from the people I talked to. I live in a City that is
substandard. It is difficult to find ethical and competent
professionals in ANY profession. I have not been to the doctor in
some time because the doctors here stink compared to where I grew
up. You obviously did not read all my posts. I would never say
they are ALL incompetent and unethical, but I have been to two and
both were. One didn't know as much as I did about proper treatment
after I read several vet school articles on the subject and both
insisted on full payment on the spot at outrageous rates.
Obviously the vet schools, like so many other prof. schools are
making little effort to sort out people who are looking to make
money from people who care about what they are doing. This is
symptomatic of the present state of our Kountry, where
incompetence is more the rule than the exception and where people
are successful regardless of their ethical/moral standards-just
look at our atheletes.

Obviously you haven't called many vets around here because they
don't give estimates over the phone. They expect you to pay a
consult fee just to give an estimate. They are greedy, mercenary
a*sho*les. I almost file licensing complaints against the two I
mentioned above.

> Will you post here how much you are willing to pay to help this
> cat who cannot help itself?

The point is mute, the cat's eye is not a bad as I first thought,
so he is doing ok for now.

Well, if people wouldn't act like morons, I wouldn't stoop to
their level.

Yeah she's willing to spend OTHER people's money to satisfy her

Have you even tried making arrangements with your vet to pay in
installments?
Have you asked loved ones or friends for loans? When it comes down to the
cat might go blind without immediate vet care it is time to put pride aside.

I would also like to comment that coming into the discussion hostile
because you do not or will not find the resources to take care of this
cat is really bad form. Anyone who cares about these creatures would
get upset at the notion of a cloudy eye going untreated, and you are being
unfair to DEMAND that we don't.

I quite agree. I would say most of us have been up against financial
hardship, and having to find a way for our pet to see a vet.  You do
what you have to to be a responsible person.  OP, I do hope you will
make some financial arrangements and get the cat some professional help.

Exactly.  When I was a graduate student (*many* years ago), my cat needed
surgery and I was barely "scraping by" on a graduate assistant's pay.  I
made arrangements to pay for the surgery in installments.  It took a
year-and-a-half to finish payments, but it was well worth it.  Moreover, I
used to joke that my cat had a healthier diet during that time than I did --  
and despite the joking, it was actually true.  However, he needed it for
recuperation, and I was healthy.  That cat was the love of my life (just as
my two furbabies are now), and he lived to be almost 20 years old.  As a
couple of other people have said, we do what we have to do.

When we wuz kids growing up, if one of our dogs got the mange, we put
him down.

If the dogs had been the love of our lives, then sure, I reckon we
would have viewed the whole thing differently. There are many people
who would have done the same as you, there are many people who would
say it is not affordable; and put the cat down.

I know you are not saying this; but IMO; I think as adults we should
accept the idea that not everyone feels the same, and to me this is ok.
A cat being put to sleep is in fact painless to the cat. I do put a
higher value on the quality of human life than animals.

Just sharing my 2 cents.

ooops! Say!, I'm not saying this to mean anything about what you did.

oh calm your a.s down!

you've spent more time replying to the money matter than talking about
the eye. It's no wonder you have not got any decent ideas about the
problem.

Who cares if you have money or not, you're going to do what you want
and what you can afford. If you THOUGHT anyone on here might spare a
dime...after that little jagged post? hehehe

Now you are ready to shoot the cat?

Yeah, just post you're address and sit back and wait for the dollars to
roll in. Everyone loves to give money to a cat shooter.

Why are you letting a few, spoil the matter!

Bullshit.  If you're asking questions in a newsgroup about what you should
do, you're obviously clueless.  You can't treat eye problems in cats
yourself because you don't know the cause.  The wrong treatment will make
the problem worse.  You don't know which medication the cat needs because
you can't diagnose the problem.

If you're too cheap and ignorant to take the cat to a vet- rehome the cat.
You're far too cheap and ignorant to be entrusted with a cat's life.

Btw, blind cats live near normal lives- with the right caretaker- which
ain't you. So don't have the killed because you're a, ignorant, cheap moron.

That is not necessarily true: many people without computers have
Internet access through schools and libraries, or through work, and
various free e-mail addresses.  There is even a clue in the message
header: the orginization is given as DFN-Verein - DFN is a the German

posted this message from a computer I don't own via an ISP I don't

Anyone of reasonable intelligence who has been on this group for longer
than a week soon discovers that Phil cares about the well-being of
felines and is very knowledgable on many issues about them.

I've been hanging out in here for years. Phil and I butted heads briefly
at the outset over nutrition issues; however, it was an education for me.

...don't get a swelled head Phil!  :)
whitershadeofpale - 28 Oct 2005 20:40 GMT
Yes, I agree, it seems that Phil is a blessing to this group.

aaand, I've said my mind,  I too appreciate the knowledge and
experience that Phil freely offers.

Phil has chosen to learn the things he has, same as someone else might
know about people medsin, or horse medsin, and so on. Or a car
mechanic, or a computer specialist.

Having knowledge AND experience is great, for a specific practicing;
but It is not directly related to our people skills; and/or our
personal opinions.

For the record, is Phil a Vet?

Ahhh what's wrong Phil, couldn't get your degree to be vet?

make a living at it.

You ain't never helped me, and as far as I can see, don't nobody give a

NOT ME

Phil don't know sh.t, he's a got a damn cat book, he quotes from.

Knowing something about the subject, makes him somebody in his own
esteem,
however, don't nobody give a rats a.s what you have to contribute, I
sho the f.ck don't, I have never seen one useful bit of practical info
that you have contributed DICK WEED! Other than an occasional laugh

Now, having said this...on the other hand. Cheryl has contributed WAY
more useful info than you have.

The crap you post, I can read that for my damnself.

So there dingaling, roll that up and lick it yourself.

Yeah, plenty of people contribute, you're just always first in line for

How's he doing?  Did he have another echo, yet?  I'm really curious to know
if the diltiazem reduced his myocardial hypertrophy.

Btw, I found two very good articles by Dr. Rush on HCM and arterial
thromboembolism from last year's Northeast Veterinary Conference.  I'd be
glad to send them to you if you'd like.

No, I didn't. I looked at the ACVECC web site. I was disappointed
to find that he is the closest ACVECC Diplomate to where we live
(it's about a 1 1/2 hour drive to Tufts). I sure wish there was an
emergency vet with his credentials nearby. I didn't count the names
on the list, but it seems there are less than a hundred ACVECC
Diplomates in the whole country. I think we got lucky to have Dr. Rush
looking after TK.

ACVECC certification is very tough and requires a lot of actual clinical
emergency experience- that's very hard work in itself.  Its definitely not
just a paper title.

I'll say! Can't ask for a better combination than double-boarded

That and:
TK hates a closed door and hates being stuck
in the basement since that's where he spent most
of the first month with us after his "abduction".
And, of course, he had to re-mark everything
since we screwed up all the scents. He spent the
first hour after his "release" rubbing his face on
EVERYTHING.

LOL! That's funny- When any of my cats come home from a vet visit, they have
to check and make sure all their scents are exactly where they left them.
I've been wanting to move a chair for so long because I hate where it is-
but I won't move it because I don't want to deal with their attitudes if I

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one
who's allowed themselves to get "pussy whipped".
I've learned that in a battle of will with a cat, I'm gonna
lose. Especially with TK, who is the most stubborn cat
I have ever met. The other cats that we.ve lived with
learned, at least, that "NO" meant "not while I'm watching".
TK just looks at us like "Hey, f**k you, I'm a cat", and then
does whatever he wants.

Do you always answer your own questions, moron?  You're not only
monumentally stupid and psychotic- you're also schizophrenic.  At least
you're never alone and have at least one person who will agree with you!
LOL! You have some real serious issues, Barry. LOL!

> I've never met a cat he allegedly helped..

That's because you're a psychotic moron with the I.Q. of an ameba.  You're
far too stupid to be entrusted with a cat's life- as Ruprecht's horrible
untimely death demonstrated.  Do the cats of the world a favor and stay the
hell away from them before your monumental stupidity kills any more of them.

Correct.

Phil's a good guy.  As are most people on this group.  You just sort of
have to take his negative attributes with his positive ones.  For the
most part his positive ones outweigh the negative for me, at least.

ROTFLMAO!  I just love pushing your buttons and watching you go psychotic-
that's a sign that you have a very weak spirit and mind.  How does it feel
to be outwitted and controlled by an "inbred, cornbread, bald a.s nobody",
huh, Barry?? LOL!

Yep. Just like anyone of reasonable intelligence knows very well that
my changing posting names is in no way an effort to fool anyone.
Phil, you, and everybody else knows exactly which long-term
group participant I am. So I don't know about you, Joe, but I am
not "playing" anyone. And neither is my Evil Twin Lumpy. :)

Yep, me too. Hell, I even posted about the nym change IN the group.

But there was a difference- you weren't an a.shole.  You had a real desire
to learn and understand feline nutrition.  You did a lot of research and
contacted pet food companies for nutrient data sheets and compared the
nutrient values.  You weren't just arguing for the hell of it because you
were a dry food proponent.

I'll keep my head in a vice to prevent it from swelling. ;)

Already rescued him once from the brink of death. Not going to pay
some mecernary prick doctor for what is often incompetent advice,
when I can do it myself by ordering from one of the many vet
supply stores online. Contrary to what a.sholes like you would

I'm only cheap when it comes to throwning money at pricks like
you.

You're the kind of fuckwit who would keep a pet with kidney
failure on dialysis just to satisfy you own selfish needs.

Maybe that's why the cat is already blind in one eye.

You don't seem to understand that you can't order the proper medication
because you don't know what's wrong with the eye.  If you use the wrong
medication, you can cause permanent, irreversible damage and severe pain.
Even a cheap a.shole like you should be able to figure that much out.

"You pricks"? LOL!

Sorry to disappoint you, a.shole, I'm not a Chippendale dancer.

Know a lot about dialysis for cats, do you?

You're clearly not suited to be entrusted with a cat's life.  Take your cat
to a vet and ask him to find him a home.  When the vet asks you why, tell
him because you're too cheap and stupid to be entrusted with a cat's life.
Once the vet meets you, he'll understand completely.

Your cat is going to lose the sight in his one good eye if you
don't take him in to a vet. How can you live with that?

He's said (often) that he's not a vet.

There really are some wonderful vets around. Maybe you could do a little
legwork and find one. Try calling the local no-kill shelters and see who
does volunteer or reduced rate work for them.

I know there are some, I just don't have the fat bank account to sort
through all the mercenary pr*cks. I tried calling the cat shelter
here and they are too damn pussified to give a recommendation.
