Feline Chlamydia infection
Symptoms
Conjunctivitis (reddened eye) and a thick, ocular discharge. Sneezing and a nasal discharge are also common.
Causes
Cats become infected by Chlamydia psittaci which is spread by other infected cats in their bodily discharges.
What to do
Seek urgent veterinary treatment for any eye infection.
Treatment
The vet will prescribe antibiotics, and the whole course must be completed. If feline chlamydial infection is not treated quickly and adequately by a vet, it can infect the gastrointestinal (digestive) and genital systems of the cat, and may cause reproductive problems in queens.
