I have seen something that bore a very good resemblance to an exploding eye - it happened once to a kitten I was fostering. I don't know what it was in medical terms, only that the appearance was of an eye that had exploded, it was horrible and of course the eye had to be removed. Yes, perhaps it was an abcess behind the eye, who knows?

Unhappy Re: Help - runt of litter
Thank you to everyone who helped and gave advice.

Unfortunately Tiny wasn't interested in feeding and he was losing weight, so at 11.55am he went to sleep (at the vets). RIP little one x

You're both right. Cat flu can cause corneal ulcers, and untreated corneal ulcers can lead to the eyeball rupturing, effectively destroying it if not treated surgically.


Gemini, I'm so sorry you lost Tiny, but Taylorbaby is right: at least he won't be in any more pain.

Rest in peace, little one.
