Feline glaucoma, like human glaucoma, is a condition in which the watery fluid (aqueous humor) contained in the front part of the eye, just behind the lens, is unable to drain normally. The resulting accumulation of this fluid puts pressure on the optic nerve, which leads from the eye to the brain. Nerve damage caused by this pressure prevents normal vision and, if the condition progresses without treatment, is likely to result in partial or total blindness. Glaucoma may affect one or both eyes, depending on the type of glaucoma present. VC - gabi vet on yt #cat #cats #catlover #catofinstagram #vetdrugs_

@the___rach My cat has FIV and CKD. One morning I woke up and noticed his eyes were like this pupils dilated and a crazy shine and he couldn’t see. I took him to the vet and then eventually an eye specialist who stated glaucoma. His pressure is 42 in the left eye and 32 in the right eye I have him on anti-inflammatory drops and glaucoma drops. How do we differentiate between ocular FIP and glaucoma?

@grntforever Time to stop feeding our cats ultra processed food!

@white_poinsettia Is there no treatment?
