Cat's Eyes

[Veleda]

I have 2 cats. 1 is about 3yrs old and 1 is about 1yr and a half. The younger one Loki recently got sick for about a day, he was throwing up and other than that fine. About 2 days later I noticed he had a small red spot (similar looking to blood) inside the bottom right hand side of his left eye. I just figured that the two cats must have gotten a little ruff while they were playing, but a few days later the spot had started migrating upwards on his eye and breaking off into spots so that it looked like he had about 6-8 bloodspots in one eye. (they also kinda turned a little brownish) About 2 days after that I noticed that eye started getting cloudy and I saw a 1 red spot in his other eye, so I took him to the vet who checked him out he had a slight temp, but it's summer (the vet said). He did some thing with a black light and some dye to see if he had cuts on his eye but there were none and said he didnt know what it was. He gave us some antibiotic for him to take oraly and eyedrops that irritate his eyes really bad and looks like gel. After about a week of this torture for him he hides now, he doesnt seem to be in pain other than the gooy eye stuff I have to give him 2 times a day. It is not hard to get him to cuddle or purr or anything but i feel like the devil when I have to put that stuff in his eyes and it doesnt seem to be getting any better. I have scoured the internet looking for what it could possibly be but nothing has pictures and nothing described either makes sence or applys. So please help my little kitty. I dont know what else to do.

The other cat is fine still mean as ever but, not sick no eye discharge.


Also I have been having to treat both for fleas recently but that was after the first vet visit.

I thought that at first but then it started getting kinda cloudy and it wen to the other eye... now it seems like you can't even make out he lines of the (forgive my technical terms) dark part of the eye and the white part of the eye, oh and I also noticed that the second eye lid on the inside shows every so often when I try to look at his eyes. (but that may be him trying to keep me from putting gel (evilness) in his eyes.)

I had actually thought about that but it is acutally in his eye kinda looks like its floating in there.

Maybe hes getting cataracts or glaucoma or something.than again, i suppose your vet would have picked that up huh. may i suggest getting a second opinion, Alot of times 1 vet will overlook something that another will pick up!

I did ask about that and he said it would only be in the black part of the eye not the whole thing. I think you may be right about a second opinion seems like I paid a guy for nothing. But on the brighter side I actually got him to open his eyes in the light long enough for me to recheck and it doesnt look as bad as I thought now it just looks like his eyes are kinda in a haze... glazed over. And there are 3-4 brownish red spots near the bottom of the eyes. :sad: I hope he is ok.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that the vet told me to watch his poop to see if anything looked strange but his poop is normal

About the time this all started my fiance had proposed and bought me roses... I think there was baby's breath in them and I do remeber the cats knocking it over a few times... I have found lists of toxic plants to cats that include baby's breath or Gypsophilia but can't seem to find any symptoms or what not for that particular plant. In any case they were thrown out, would the symptoms still be there? Is this eye thing anything like poisening?
