Hypertensive Retinopathy
Symptoms |
Common signs can include:
- sudden loss of vision - blood visible within the eye |
Treatment |
Treatment consists of oral medication to restore normal blood pressure. If diagnosed and treated quickly, many cats that initially present with blindness can regain some vision once blood pressure is normalized. Once stabilized, blood pressure rechecks are recommended every 8-12 weeks.
CBC, Chemistry, Urinalysis and Thyroid panel are recommended to determine the underlying cause of hypertension. |
