[Felvtalk] Uveitis

[Maureen Olvey]

Actually after one week of treatment with terramycin and clavamox and flurbiprofen the vet did an eye stain and the scratches had healed.  It wasn't actually a corneal abrasion I don't think, just some minor scratches.  Not all eye injuries affect the cornea right?  That was my understanding anyway but I could be wrong since I don't completely understand the anatomy of the eye.  But he said it's all healed.  Actually I read that just having FeLV can cause uveitis so that's why the vet is assuming it is still irritated. We're using the interferon alpha to boost her immune system.  Since the eye has healed should I bother with Vitamin C and silver?  Also I'm giving her lysine even though this isn't herpes related.

I have had a kitten with a severely scratched cornea.  After treatment for a week the eye continued to not heal and ultimately the eye was surgically removed.  After that it healed well.  Her eye was in really bad shape though.  Corneal abrasions generally heal quickly, but with felv it may hinder the healing.  

 
I would recommend vitamin c  (mega c can be order via internet and works well) as well as colloidal silver (mesosilver is a good quality colloidal silver) and finally tonic (a herbal mixture of four herbs that promote healing and support the immune system - a great group for advice on this is group 2053 - I can give you the email address if you're interested).  Oh wait one more thing - standard process has an immune support supplement that you could add as well as a whole body support supplement if you're interested.  There are a host of choices - personally I'd start with mega c and silver as the vitamin c helps with wound healing and silver both helps with wound healing and is a great antimicrobial.

 
Good luck.

Anyone ever dealt with Uveitis (eye inflammation)?  My FeLV kitten had a scratch or something in her eye but that is healed but her eye is still really red and irritated.  The vet suspects her FeLV is causing the irritation and redness to continue.  Right now she's taking Baytril and Clavamox, Interferon Alpha, and Flurobiprofen drops and Terramycin ointment in the eye.
