Lizzie’s loving eyes were once a source of pain
Thursday, May 1st, 2008
The adorable little face above belongs to Lizzie.
Lizzie likes to gaze into my eyes, and when she does I see in hers love, empathy, compassion … and nearly every eye disorder a poor little kitty can have.
From herpes to distichia to ulcers to glaucoma, Lizzie has it. Yet excellent vets often miss these problems, in part because they all are relatively rare in cats, or at least rarely diagnosed in cats. So for years, Lizzie suffered terribly without us even realizing it.
When I look into my kitty’s eyes, those beautiful, loving green eyes, I get inspired to help other cats find relief from their pain and discomfort.
We’re lucky to have found a veterinary opthamologist, Dr. Susan Kirschner, who has cured or controlled all these problems. The fact that you have stumbled across this site suggests that maybe you haven’t yet found the answer to the problems you see when you look into your kitty’s eyes. So read on, and maybe we can help.
MyKittyEyes.com is not affiliated with nor endorsed by any of the organizations we link to. Nor are we qualified to diagnose or treat your kitty’s eyes. That’s not our intent. We just want to help get you pointed in the right direction.
One more thing: If you already have solved your cat’s problems, please leave a brief note describing the symptoms and what your vet did to treat them.
If you haven’t yet figured out what’s wrong, please come back when you do and post your story.
You never know whose kitty’s eyes you might be saving.
