Poor sorbet

Conjunctivitis, Eyes, Health
By Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, DVM

Getting a wink from a cheerful friend is one thing, but getting a wink from your feline is another. Unusual blinking, rubbing of the eyes or discharge can be the signs of an eye infection. Eye problems due to an infectious agent such as a bacteria or virus are fairly common in cats, so be on the lookout for these clinical signs.



Causes of Eye Infections In Cats

While many disease processes can affect the eyes of cats, infectious agents are one of the most common causes of eye disease in the feline. Any feline who is in close contact with other cats is at risk of exposure, since these infectious agents can be difficult to control in crowded environments.

In younger cats, both bacteria and viruses can cause eye infections. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma are the two commonly diagnosed bacteria. Feline herpesvirus type 1 is often the viral culprit, but other viruses such as calicivirus can also play a role in eye infections. These infections are most often seen in young cats with weaker immune systems and those exposed to high-stress environments such as shelters, though any cat may be affected.

In older cats and those in stable environments, the sudden onset of an eye infection may indicate that it has arisen secondary to another problem. Trauma to the eye, autoimmune disease, cancer and systemic viral infections such as feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) may be underlying contributors.


Symptoms of Cat Eye Infections

Cat parents may notice a variety of symptoms indicating an eye infection, including:

• The whites of the eye may turn red.
• Ocular discharge may be present, running the gamut from clear, to yellow or even green. Winking or rubbing the eyes is also common.
• The third eyelid may be protruding and covering part of the irritated eye.
• Your cat may have other clinical signs common with upper respiratory infections, such as sneezing or nasal discharge.

These symptoms may affect one or both eyes. It is common for a cat to only show one of the above symptoms, particularly early on in the course of the infection.



Diagnosis of Cat Eye Infections

A visit with the veterinarian is key to an accurate diagnosis. A good history helps direct the veterinarian to the diagnostic tests most appropriate for your cat. The examination will evaluate the eye for signs of trauma, look for systemic signs of an upper respiratory infection, and evaluate all the structures of the eye.

The veterinarian may take a small swab or scrape cells from the inflamed areas to look for infectious agents. If a secondary systemic problem is suspected, the veterinarian may recommend additional testing or bloodwork to make sure there is not a larger problem that needs to be addressed.



Prognosis for Cat Eye Infections

The prognosis for uncomplicated infections is excellent. Bacterial infections usually respond well to appropriate treatment, and viral infections are often self-limiting.

If the infection is secondary to another problem, such as FIV, neoplasia or anatomic defect, the long term prognosis depends on the severity of the disease. Even in these cases, the eye infection can be managed separately and treated.



Treatment for Cat Eye Infections

Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics, usually in the form of a topical ointment or drops. Oral treatment is not usually indicated.

While viral eye infections are usually self-limiting, many veterinarians still recommend topical antibiotics as it is common for these felines to have both viral and bacterial infections occurring concurrently. Severe cases may warrant the use of anti-viral medications.

It’s important to remember that many eye problems look alike in cats and a physical examination from the veterinarian is vital to get an accurate diagnosis. While eye infections are common in the cat, other diseases such as glaucoma, foreign bodies or anatomic defects may look similar to the untrained eye. If your cat is showing any signs of discomfort, don’t treat him or her with leftover antibiotics from another feline before calling the vet: you may be wasting precious time missing the right diagnosis.

Does Chris not know what "the rabbit died" means?

I have elderly relatives that look better than Chris

Fur and all.

It should've been Chris instead of Sorbet.

It's funny when someone is so smug as they completely miss the point of a joke.

I can tell you that a proper veterinarian would probably take this cat away from him upon looking it over.

Pets are largely considered property and veterinarians do not have the legal power to 'take away' animals (i.e. property) in Virginia- even the official state veterinarians that enforce codes on breeders\shelters. Also, Sorbet isn't even on the map of what the authorities- animal control officers in VA- see in terms of neglect and abuse, unfortunately.

If only we could have him taken away from himself

While they can't take the pet away, they can start the process of getting a neglected animal removed from its household, contact the animal warden. Usually the police themselves have to remove an animal, take it to the vet, and have them tell them if the animal's being abused, but it's a lot of work that probably wouldn't be done in Sorbet's case. It sucks.

 

[Basil]

He probably thinks Sorbet's new eyes are great because it's superficially heterochromia. Poor fuckin thing.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Generally, I agree what Chris does to his pets doesn’t rise to the level of what animal control would consider abuse or neglect, but Sorbet is really, really messed up. I don’t know. I take it that Chris initially took him to a vet, but that photo is fucked up. Maybe he’s better in motion.
But that eye looks infected.

Beautiful.

Jesus Christ you're right.

The appearance of Sorbet sickens me so bad. My old cat actually had the same accident back in 2011. Getting hit by a car, and running away for a few days. He came back 3-4 days later, with his eye clearly damaged, and apparently he was using dirt, twigs and leaves like some sort of bandage. His eye was actually a lot more bloody and red than Sorbet's bad eye.

Biggest difference though, is my cat was pretty old when this happened, and wasn't as flexible. But the impact didn't kill him, and he came home eventually, eye destroyed and jaw slacked down.

Karma, honey.

 

[KickyerArsene]

So this is Chris' expert veterinarian opinion:

"It went away on its own! Problem solved!"

There's gotta be something someone can do for Sorbet. There's enough proof online to send a report to animal services.

 

[Flareon]

That eyeball is fucking dead it doesn't just "go away on its own"

 

[Melancholia]

Wonder what Chris is gonna do when that eye goes necrotic...

Probably shit himself and do nothing...

Seriously though... poor Sorbet... he can't be having a good time with one eye probably blind due to how cloudy it is, and the other blown to shit...

I understand the frustration, but we're not the only people who see this. Regular jagoffs who clicked 'follow' on his twitter out of morbid curiosity or occasionally check out the cwcki will report the medical neglect to authorities, who will make a note of the fucked up hoarder house having yet another instance of animal abuse, get buttmad at their inability to legally step in, then move on to the next hillbilly horror show on their list. They probably repeat this cycle at least once a month, as Chris posts whatever David Lynch scene is going on in his life at the moment on his very public social media.

Shit himself and buy Lego tyvm.

If Seinfeld was revived, an episode where Newman becomes an SJW to impress some woman would actually be pretty funny.
