What Causes Arowana Cloudy Eye, and How Is It Treated?
Arowana cloudy eye is mainly caused by poor water quality and bacterial infection, with higher risk in summer and autumn. The white film over the eye is the tell-tale sign; early cases need only water changes, while middle and late stages require salt, heat, and medication.
Arowana Cloudy Eye: A Common Arowana Disease
Arowana cloudy eye is usually caused by poor water quality or an eye injury that lets bacteria in, and it progresses through four stages. Mild early cases often clear up with simple water changes, while advanced cases need salt, heat, and medication.
My cat lost appetite (won’t even eat favorite treats), eyes watery and barely open, sleeps all day
Poor appetite and tearing may mean an eye problem—infection, allergy, or injury. Check for trauma; if none, consider infection or inflammation. Irritating smells in the environment may also cause it. Feline rhinotracheitis is possible; if it persists, see a vet soon.
How can I tell if my cat’s eyes are sick?
Sick cat eyes may show redness, tearing, pain, light sensitivity, and increased discharge, with the cat scratching its eyes. Corneal disease, glaucoma, or cataracts reduce clarity and affect vision, causing bumps and bruises. See a vet promptly if these appear.
My cat went out a couple days ago and came back unable to walk normally on a hind leg; after two days home it sneaked out again and was gone two days, and today came back with one side of its chin higher than the other, unable to eat kibble (only drinks water), and one eye won’t close. Could its nerve have been damaged by a blow?
Based on your description, the cat likely suffered trauma outdoors, such as a car impact or fall, causing possible fracture or soft-tissue injury in the leg, jaw dislocation or fracture, and eyelid or facial nerve damage. These are life-threatening; seek a full veterinary exam.
Why has my cat’s eyeball turned black and hard?
First check whether the black substance on the eye is dried oxidized blood; if the eye bled, see a vet for treatment based on injury severity. If the cat shows no discomfort, the eye may just be covered by paint or a foreign object, which you can clean off.
What should I do if a cat’s eye is injured?
From the photo the eye injury looks serious; seek a vet promptly to prevent blindness. Severe cases may need surgery or even removal. Keep an Elizabethan collar on until healed to stop scratching.
What should I do if my cat’s eye corners are red?
Red eye corners may be bacterial infection or impact. Bacterial causes need pet antibacterial eye drops; keep the cat and environment clean. For impact injury, treat by severity—rest if mild, or clean and disinfect the wound if severe, to prevent infection.
Why are my cat’s eyes turning red?
A cat's red eyes can come from irritation by foreign objects (dust, hair, shampoo), ingrown eyelashes, impact injury, or infection and inflammation such as keratitis or conjunctivitis, which needs prompt treatment.
My orange cat cried out while eating a month ago, then a week later walked lame and wobbly, became aggressive, bites when touched; after falling in the litter box it can’t put its right paw down, legs unsteady, left leg turns inward, can’t stand over a minute. Voice clear, eyes bright, little discharge, still has appetite.
Limping and strong reaction to touch suggest significant pain; many causes, most worrying are bone, spine, lumbar injury pressing nerves. Take to a vet promptly for detailed exam—delay risks missing best treatment and lifelong disability. Untested care/meds are blind and painful. If she cries/bites on touch, give pet anti-inflammatory painkiller to ease pain.
