The difference between cat conjunctivitis and keratitis

The difference between cat conjunctivitis and keratitis:
1. Different locations: Keratitis usually refers to the pathological reaction that occurs on the cornea, while conjunctivitis refers to the bulbar Conjunctiva and facial conjunctiva lesions occur.
2. The causes of the disease are different: Conjunctivitis is caused by bacteria or viruses in the cat’s eyes due to irritation of inverted eyelashes and hair. Cats suffer from keratitis because there is trauma to the cat's eyes or there is a bacterial infection caused by foreign matter in the eyes.
Methods for treating cats suffering from keratitis/conjunctivitis:
1. The owner should first wash his hands and sterilize them, then use a sanitary napkin dipped in saline, and gently Wipe the secretions around the cat's eyes. The dried secretions can be moistened and softened before cleaning. The force should be smaller to avoid the cat feeling pain and causing inflammation of the skin around the eyes.
2. If there is secretion in the cat’s eyes, you can use a few drops of Pointe eye drops to rinse the eyes.
3. After the cat’s eyes are cleaned, put eye drops on the corners of the cat’s eyes and leave them there for a little longer.
4. Do not let the cat scratch its eyes. You can wear an Elizabethan collar on the cat.
