Posts: 4452 Mar 18, 2008 09:02:44 FF&F Staff Moderator	Tags : cats, feral cats, eye disorders These are pictures of our latest feral that we trapped to TNR. Unfortunately, he seems to be partially or almost blind due to protruding third eyelids and ever so crossed eyes. He also has a wound on his leg that needs to be checked. He has an appointment tomorrow for ELISA testing, neutering, overall check up, shots, etc. If he test negative on the ELISA we might have a Siamese rescue willing to take him once we calm/tame him. Not sure if he's truly feral or just scared to death since he can't see well and trauma from the trapping experience. Time will tell...please keep him in your thoughts for a good prognosis tomorrow. Note the third eyelids.... Last Edited By: firemanslady Mar 18, 2008 09:06:25. Edited 1 time.

What Siamese rescue wouldn't want a pretty boy like him? That's not a notch (neutered) on his right ear, it it? My foster girl Ruby had the third eyelid problem, leftover from poorly treated eye infections as a baby. They looked like his eyelids, but also got very pink whenever she was stressed. It didn't bother her EXCEPT when she thought I wanted to medicate her eyes. She got adopted into a lovely home a few months ago, after we'd had her for 2.5 years - her new family doesn't care that her eyes look a little weird. You might ask the vet to look at the top of his eyelids too - we've had a few cats with the condition where the eyelashes grow inward. The shape of his eyes look similar to those kitties we had.

Our vet said the eyelid thing is due to poor nutrition and should correct once he's built up with some quality food. I'm so relieved! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers....I know that someone sent good vibes.

Nope Good luck on the eyes too... they don't look terrible and they do look clear. Was he a good boy at the vet?

I'm sure now that he's feral or close to it, but we've dealt with that before as well and he will tame down eventually.
