My cat has an eye problem that the pet opthamologist here in Tampa, Florida, has never seen before, but has heard of. It appears to be immune related - the muscles behind my cat's eyes appear to have been attacked by his immune system and no longer function. Both of his eyes look straight ahead - cannot move up, down, or to either side, and his "third eylid" does not close over his eyes so his tears do not spread over his eyes and keep them moist. When my cat's eyelids close, air gets to a horizontal sliver of his eye where the eyelids meet, and a dry lesion has appeared on one eye which has developed into a keloid scar horizontally across that eye, from blood vessels attempting to heal that dried part of the eye. We must constantly keep both eyes moist with eye drops and special salve to keep them from getting worse. He has been placed on prednisone, and periodically I place antibiodic eye drops in his eyes to ensure there is no infection. I'm hoping to find someone that may have treated this before with good results, as I am afraid that whatever attacked his eye muscles may also attack the optic nerves, and I don't want this problem to progress. Have you heard of this problem before and, possibly, whether anyone has had any success at all in treating or somewhat reversing the current damage a bit so that some movement would return? He's only about 10 years old, and I'm quite worred. Thank you for any suggestions or help.
