Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Make sure you let us know you saw Granola on Adopt-a-pet. DOB 11/8/2019. OMG this fluffy sweet boy! We are hoping he can be adopted with his brother Waffles so he has a buddy to help him get around. Vet notes: While rechecking eyes, the ulcer on the left cornea appears to healed, leaving a 2 mm scar remaining on the left cornea. While closely examining the eyes, cataracts were now visible in both lenses that were not noted in earlier exams. The cataracts appeared immature but appeared to be affecting approx. 80% of each lens. There was no visible uveitis noted, and corneal edema/conjunctivitis appeared to be fully resolved. I am unsure how long cataracts have been present as they were not noted previously. It is possibly that they are developing and may have been progressing over time. I suspect that they are congenital cataracts and have been present since birth, but were not appreciable due to severe degree of conjunctivitis earlier in life. I suspect these cataracts may be congenial as they appear in the nucleus of the lens, and some tapetal reflection is visible around the cataracts. THis kitten has been more tentative in nature since first arrival and it may be that his vision was impaired. A consultation with an ophthalmologist would be necessary to further evaluate the cataracts and suggest long term prognosis and treatment recommendations. Based upon current information, these cataracts are presumed to be congenital, meaning that they will be lifelong, and not expected to progress or worsen. However, there is a chance that these cataracts are of a juvenile progressive type that could go on to cause complete blindness over time. IF the cataracts were to worsen and the lenses shift within the eyes, this could lead to glaucoma and eyes would need to be removed if this should occur. Granola must be adopted into an indoor only home with a low stress environment. He seems to have some vision, but it is limited so he cannot be placed in situations that may cause him danger. Adopters should be prepared to have the eyes rechecked and monitored regularly by a veterinarian (or ophthalmologist) to assess for any changes over time, and adopters must be prepared to provide eye medications or surgical treatment if that becomes necessary in the future.
