                One problem that many cat owners have to deal with is a feline or cat eye infection. This is a problem that can be caused by different factors, such as viruses, bacteria, or fungus. Learning to identify an infection early is vital to stop your cat from suffering.
                An eye infection can be caused by the action of a virus. In this case the virus that causes more problems is the Feline Herpevirus I. This is a virus that produces most cases of conjunctivitis in cats. Treatment must be given early or further symptoms of this condition may appear. You need to use special drops that are prescribed by a veterinarian.
                There are other viruses that can cause feline eye infection, such as Feline Panleukopenia, Feline Leukaemia Complex, Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. In some of this cases it is part of a larger underlying condition.
                Cat eye infection caused by bacteria is called Chlamydiosis. Along with Feline Herpevirus I is one of the common causes of conjunctivitis. How do you recognize it? Symptoms are nasal discharge, irritation, inflammation in the eye, among others.
                Finally the infection in your cat can be caused by a fungus called Cryptococcosis. Cats get this fungus because of a presence in the environment or from another cat biting. You normally don’t notice the fungus, once it shows as inflammation it is already affecting the nervous system. What you need to do is take your cat to the veterinarian immediately. The treatment for this type of eye infection consists of anti fungal medication.

                If you prefer natural alternatives, you should know that there are some natural products used in case of conjunctivitis caused by bacteria. If you are interested, it would be a good idea to talk to your veterinarian about the best brands out there to try.
