fight the battle to save the eyes on their own, won’t be enough while the virus is still attacking the body. Try the Winstrol with prednisone and doxycycline, along with the corticol topical treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Wonder if anyone has has any success with treating Uveitis in FeLV cats..... I've had my 10 mo. old guy to two different Vets...One prescribed tribple ABX with Corticosteroid which had no appreciable effect.... the other vet counseled
against using Cortisones due to the risk of Corneal Ulcers.... Without treatment my guy is now losing his vision...he has blood in the Anterior Chamber in both eyes and Lens clouding in the right eye..... It is getting VERY troubling when I get different
opinions about something so important.... I'm having rather a difficult time sitting by and letting my guy go blind..... The Literature all points to Corticosteroid Drops as the first line treatment.... but this is for the disease as it affects so called
" normal " cats..... Which is the lesser of evils with Cortisone Tx in this case......??<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently following Amani's suggestion from a while ago and rinsing his eyes a few times a day with Contact Lens Solution to keep them from Gunking up.... but..... He IS losing and none of the vets appear at all inclined to do further
testing..... Again.... it's like they are saying " Oh isn't it nice that you want to save this sweet FeLV Kitty but, really, don't try TOO hard"....<o:p></o:p></p>
