👀 "I don't wink like Jihoon, but my eyes hurt..." 👀
🐱🐱🐱 "Sphynx" is a fluffy and soft cat, 5 years and 5 months old. When he was little, Sphynx flew alone (whoosh...) and fell down with a loud thud. The owner rushed to take him to the doctor. The diagnosis found that Sphynx's left eye had a problem, so it was necessary to have surgery to remove the eye. After that, Sphynx has become a cool, one-eyed cat.
In early March 2020, the owner noticed that the Sphynx's eyes looked watery and had a black patch on the cornea, so he brought it to see Dr. Adirek Limnarongdet (Dr. Bell) in the ophthalmology department.
The diagnosis was a chronic corneal ulcer with abnormal wound healing (Indolent corneal ulcer) and corneal nigrum. The exact cause is still unknown. However, studies have shown that Persian breeds are more prone to the disease than other breeds and there are also reports of herpes virus infection.
💊💊💊 The treatment guideline must be informed in advance that medication can be given to small wounds or dead tissue that is peeling off. But in the case of the Sphinx, there is a large wound. The doctor has advised the owner to correct both diseases by surgery by cutting out the problematic cornea (keratectomy).
After the surgery, the doctor prescribed eye drops and oral medication and made an appointment for the next check-up….. Although it looks like a needle, it’s in Kitty mode and cooperated with the doctor very well. Now, my little one is fully recovered. 💊💊💊
