What are those transparent bubbles in a cat's eyes?

Transparent bubbles in a cat's eyes can be mainly attributed to two reasons. First, if the transparent bubbles appear on the conjunctiva, it is mainly due to conjunctival edema. Secondly, if the transparent bubbles are located in the third eyelid position, it is mainly caused by infectious follicles caused by bacterial infection, such as viruses, mycoplasmas, and chlamydia. It is recommended that the owner consult a pet doctor in a timely manner. The first step is to identify the location of the transparent bubbles to determine the specific cause, and then treat them accordingly.

Conjunctival Edema

If the transparent bubbles in a cat's eyes appear on the conjunctiva, it may be caused by conjunctival edema. There are many causes of conjunctival edema in cats, such as foreign body stimulation, trauma, conjunctivitis, or feline upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to a pet hospital for inspection and purchase medications for treatment.

If a cat cannot open its eyes due to conjunctival edema, surgery may be necessary to keep the cat's eyes open, avoiding corneal ulcers and even blindness.

Infectious Follicles Caused by Bacterial Infection

If the transparent bubbles in a cat's eyes are located on the third eyelid, they may be caused by infectious follicles due to bacterial infection, such as mycoplasmas, chlamydia, and viruses. Mycoplasma infection is mainly characterized by sneezing, rhinorrhea, conjunctival congestion, and conjunctivitis. Chlamydia infection mainly presents with conjunctivitis, conjunctival edema, serous or mucous secretions. Some cats may also have nasal discharge, snoring, and sneezing symptoms.

If it is confirmed that the cat has infectious follicles caused by bacterial infection, it is necessary to seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible to avoid damaging the cat's eye health.
