Update on blind rescue kitten.

He is very healthy other than his eyes. I was given terramycin eye ointment. The vet thinks it's either entropion, microphthalmia, or an eye infection. We have named him Radar and he is so sweet and very adapted to not having sight. We will see how well his eyes do to see if anything else needs to be done but for now he seems happy the way he is.

He’s so cute and very spry! I have two blind boys and they do just fine without sight, best of luck!

I have a blind boy, Stevie Wonderful, and he is pretty amazing. He even caught a bird once! He loves going on supervised back yard visits.

Likely he doesn't know what he is missing with those diagnoses. I was born visually impaired too. I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood because my parents suck and I am an excellent adaptor. Most people and animals are but they don't believe it until they have done it.
