clinical symptoms
1. Eyelid hypoplasia: Occasionally, it is the most common congenital abnormality of cat eyelids. Sequelae include exposure keratitis and mechanical stimulation caused by facial hair, and the eyelid can contact the cornea when it is not full. These conditions will lead to serious scar formation and discomfort, and if deep corneal ulcer is caused, eyeball loss will be caused.
2. Eyelid edge inversion: It is an uncommon disease in cats. Many cases of entropion are secondary to ocular surface stimulation, which leads to eyelid spasm and subsequent spastic entropion. Primary entropion often occurs in the early postpartum period, usually at the age of 65438 0 ~ 2 years, and is the most common in short-headed breeds, including Persian cats (Garfield) and Maine cats.
3. Blepharitis: It is characterized by swelling and congestion of eyelids, which also has different degrees of influence on conjunctiva. According to the course of the disease, the skin around the eyes can be depilated. Because it can cause trauma, and it hurts and itches, there may be skin abrasions or ulcers.
4. Drug reaction: systemic and local medication can cause allergic reaction, leading to blepharitis. This situation has a reaction to some commonly used ophthalmic drugs in many common parts of cats, including neomycin, polymyxin B, bacitracin, gentamicin and oxytetracycline.
5. Dermatomycosis (cat lichen)/Dermatoparasitic disease (demodicidosis): It usually manifests as depilation, desquamation and itching in different degrees.
6. Eyelid tumor/squamous cell carcinoma: It is rare for cats diagnosed with eyelid tumor.
deal with
1. cleaning: keep eyelid hair follicles clean to prevent blockage and sebum oil overflow;
2. Anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment: more than three generations of cephalosporins can be used for intravenous injection or oral anti-inflammatory tablets;
3. Antifungal treatment: oral itraconazole, topical compound preparation such as wool essence;
4. Surgery: eyelid plastic surgery or tumor resection if necessary.
