Summary
Feline uveitis is a condition involving inflammation inside the eye in cats. Common signs include eye cloudiness, redness, swelling, tearing, and squinting. Uveitis in cats is often linked to underlying systemic diseases, including viral infections (FeLV, FIV, FIP), bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, and cancer such as lymphoma, though many cases are idiopathic or immune‑mediated. Diagnosis typically involves bloodwork, imaging, and infectious disease testing. Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation with topical or oral anti‑inflammatory medications and treating any identified underlying cause. Untreated or chronic uveitis can result in serious complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal damage, or vision loss, making monitoring and follow‑up essential.
