There is a transparent foreign body in the cat's eye, which may be keratitis, but it is still necessary to check whether the cat's eye is really caused by keratitis, and confirm the state of the transparent foreign body in the cat's eyeball.
Possible diseases of cat eye transparent foreign body state
- The cat's eyeball is cloudy
It may be caused by diseases such as glaucoma and cataract, and can also be seen in keratitis, external trauma, etc. You can immediately take the cat to the pet hospital for a professional eye examination. After evaluating the cat's eye condition, different treatment measures can be taken. In clinical treatment of cat eye diseases, drugs are used in the early stage. If the drug effect is not good and the condition continues to deteriorate, surgery is usually selected to remove the necrotic eyeball tissue.
- There is a transparent film on the cat's eyeball
Under normal circumstances, the cat's cornea is transparent and clear without any color, because the cat's cornea is very thin, and the collagen fibers in it are arranged neatly and tightly, and the endothelial cells keep the cornea in a relatively dehydrated state. When any of the above factors are damaged or affected, the surface of the eyeball will appear opaque, therefore, this occurs, indicating that the structure of the cornea is abnormal. Common problems such as corneal ulcers, uveitis, corneal edema, etc.
How to treat cat keratitis
For cat keratitis, it is necessary to determine whether it is simple keratitis or ulceration, or keratitis caused by a virus. If it is just a single keratitis, you need to wear an Elizabeth ring to the cat to prevent the cat from scratching its eyes. The second step is to give the cat an anti-inflammatory drug all over the body. The third step is to drop anti-inflammatory eye drops to the cat every day, 3 times a day, about a week. It can be cured around. If it is viral keratitis or accompanied by ulcers, the treatment time is long and the treatment methods are different.
