I am treating a kitten with a cloudy eye with ointments with no success. Herpes ruled out by ophthalmologist?

Question

Eye is not responding to treatment. Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice?

Answer 1

so many different reasons for it, and not being a vet (nor do I play one on the internet) I can't begin to guess to try to narrow things down.

If you are seeing a vet and you are unhappy with the way treatment is going, either return to the vet and let them know, or go and see a second vet for another opinion.

I never ever mess with eye issues.  I've seen too many kitties lose their eyeballs because infections got out of control.

Answer 2

My cat is 2 now and has had a cloudy eye ever since she was a kitten. The vet told me when she was younger that it was an upper respitory problem that almost all kittens get but then goes away after a few weeks. When my kitten's eye didnt get better, I took her back and the vet gave me pills and an ointment for her to use for a week. The problem cleared up for about a week and then was back. When I took her back to the vet yet again, he told me the problem was not serious and she would not go blind, but she would have it the rest of her life. My cats eye is cloudy and always teary but she is ok.

I would just ask your vet about that, because your kitten could have the same problem a mine does.

Hope this helps!!
