Comment on “Say What” Eosinophilic Keratitis by noochka

noochka — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:34:11 +0000

my three-month old kitten hasn’t yet officially been diagnosed with this condition (the vet said she had never seen something like this and said she would recommend an eye specialist) although looking at the description and images i found through google (including here), i think it’s fair to say that’s what she’s got.

the information that keeps coming up on different websites is that eosinophilic keratitis is often linked to the feline herpes virus, making it a condition for which the best form of treatment is a life-long one.

more info on there – http://www.vet.uga.edu/VPP/CLERK/mackey/index.php

if you read this message, could you let me know how has your cat’s condition progressed and if there has been any recurrence??

i’ve taken note of the medecine you were given and will ask my vet about it.

email is naouel_m[at]yahoo[dot]fr

cheers!

My understanding of Feline Eosinophilic Keratitis is as follows:

It is a condition in which there is inflammation of the cornea. It can be due to an immune response, like an allergy, and when parasites affect the body or can be associated with feline herpes virus. The eosinophils (white blood cells that are one of the immune system components responsible for combating infection and parasites) respond, can invade the cornea and give the eye a pinkish, white, and/or cloudy appearance.

I’ve read that most cats respond well to treatment and FEK can be readily controlled. But, each case is different and recurrences of this condition would and require ongoing or intermittent treatment.

We have a small house and 5 cats! That does not make for a good mix. One of our cats leaves a horrible smell after she goes. Never thought of getting an air purifier. I may havta look into that!

I know exactly how you feel. I lost my beloved Casanova in June the same way. He was only about 7 and a half years old and the joy of my life. He had shown no signs of illness, so I was totally in shock.

He was a very special cat to me and to lose him so young just killed me inside. We had a very special bond, so his loss has been really difficult to get through.

At least he did not suffer and showed no signs of discomfort or pain. It’s as if he just laid down and never got back up. He will always own a piece of my heart.

From the way that you describe Michael’s personality, he and Casanova had a lot in common. Let’s hope they’re chasing each other around heaven.
