he's an indoor cat anyway so don't need to worry about that and he's already ok with finding his food, water, litter tray and the radiators for his warm spots but i wanted to ask anyone who's been through this what the likehood is of him regaining his sight... the vet said that sometimes with the blood pressure medication the retiners can re-attach but not sure if she was just trying to sugar coat the news a little for us.
any response would be very much appreciated.
thanks

As everyone on here was so lovely and took the time to respond to my original post i thought i'd let you know how ronnie is doing now. i'm very pleased to report that after only 1 week on the blood pressure medication ronnie's blood pressure was back to normal and he has now regained some of his sight! :-D exactly how much we can't tell but he is no longer bumping into things and is able to follow objects and move/jump around the house as he was before. he's also eating well and is back to his normal mischievious self! :-D
thanks again for all your help.
sarah (a very chuffed ronnie owner (servant!) :-D
