Feline conjunctivitis is common and often linked to herpesvirus or chlamydia, requiring treatment and stress management especially in multi-cat households.
Conjunctivitis causes ocular discomfort, light sensitivity, and impaired vision. In severe herpetic cases, corneal scarring and blindness can result. In multi-cat homes, stress-triggered recurrences are common and difficult to prevent without addressing the underlying social dynamics. Providing adequate resources, space, and visual barriers reduces inter-cat tension and lowers recurrence frequency.
