Lentigo in cats is a common dermatological condition characterized by the presence of small, flat, brownish spots on the skin — particularly around the lips, nose, and eyelid margins. Unlike in ...
Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), [10] and OCT angiography (OCTA) [11] [12] [13] studies have provided support for choriocapillaris involvement. However, a novel hypothesis was proposed implicating a direct neurotropic infection as a possible underlying cause given the dynamic changes observed along the neuronal pathway of the retina [ 14 ]
Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses. Some of these can be treated and the animal can have a complete recovery. Others, like viral diseases, are more difficult to treat and cannot be treated with antibiotics, which are not effective against viruses.
Lentigo simplex is not induced by sun exposure, and it is not associated with any medical diseases or conditions. It is also referred to as simple lentigo and juvenile lentigo. [citation needed] This condition also affects cats, those with orange coloration most often, and can appear on the nose, lips, and eyes as the cat ages. [3]
Feline corneal sequestrum (also known as feline corneal necrosis) [1] is the development of dark areas of dead tissue in the cornea of domestic cats. [2] [3] [4] This disease is painful to the cat, although it develops slowly over a longer period of time. Cats will usually demonstrate teary eye(s), squinting or closing of the eye(s), and ...
Cat-eye syndrome (CES) or Schmid–Fraccaro syndrome is a rare condition caused by an abnormal extra chromosome, i.e. a small supernumerary marker chromosome. [2] This chromosome consists of the entire short arm and a small section of the long arm of chromosome 22 .
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a group of genetic diseases seen in certain breeds of dogs and, more rarely, cats. Similar to retinitis pigmentosa in humans, [1] it is characterized by the bilateral degeneration of the retina, causing progressive vision loss culminating in blindness.
Florida keratopathy, also known as Florida spots, is an eye condition characterized by the presence of multiple spots within both corneas. [1] It is most commonly seen in dogs and cats, but is also rarely seen in horses and birds. [2] The disease is found in the southeastern parts of the United States. [2]
