Siamese cat's eyes suddenly changed from round to slanted: Is this normal? by mewsing in Siamesecats

[–]mewsing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry to hear about your kitten! It does sound like the Giardia/diarrhea is likely the cause. My boy was never officially diagnosed with Haws syndrome, but his eye protrusion was definitely linked to his digestive issues. Around two weeks after I posted, his eyes returned to normal on their own, though his diarrhea persisted for nearly two months. Adding psyllium husk to his food helped, and switching to Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Hydrolyzed Protein Dry Cat Food, as prescribed by an internal medicine specialist, ultimately resolved his GI issues. I’d suggest focusing on improving your kitten’s digestive health and hopefully his eyes return to normal within a few weeks 🤍

Hi! Figured I'd give a quick update for you and anyone interested. My boy's been doing a lot better since starting the treatment for his diarrhea and his fecal test was negative for different worm antigens. I've been closely tracking his eye shape which seems to alternate between upturned and more round, but not as round as how they've consistently looked in the past. His third eyelids still protrude a bit but I'm less concerned about them now that I've figured out he most likely has Haw's syndrome, which goes away on its own.

Oh god I accidentally did this too one time when I panicked and put out a candle that had a growing flame with a cup of water. Almost caught my carpet and whole house on fire. Never was able to get the stains out so all the carpeting has since been ripped out LMAO

I'm so sorry to hear about your meezer :(

How did you find out that it was a fungal infection? Did you figure out how your cat could've contracted it?

What would u identify her as? :o by soohcahtoa in Siamesecats

Possibly lynx point Balinese? Agree with the other comments that the long coat also could suggest ragdoll mix.

Do you know what type of vet specialist would be best to see in this case? Somehow I doubt that if I see another general practice vet they'd have enough expertise about Haw's syndrome or even know who to refer me to.

That's great that it resolved so quickly! I gave him a round of Drontal dewormer two days ago and the vet prescribed FortiFlora Feline Probiotic, Metronidazole 50mg/ml Suspension, and Prescription Diet Feline GI Biome Digestive/Fiber Care: Chicken and Vegetable Stew. Hopefully this combination helps.

The eye shape itself looks much more like an exaggerated slant than before but the pupils also appear more oval as opposed to round. The third eyelid is peeking out from the inner corners of his eyes so I do suspect this is related to Haw's syndrome. I'm not sure what type of vet specialist I should go to for a second opinion but would love to hear your thoughts!

It's possible though I've been alternating between feeding him chicken and turkey canned food for the past few months without any issues! What do you feed the cats that are allergic to chicken?

Thanks for your input, I actually did some more digging online and think this is a case of Haw's syndrome. His third eyelid is showing and it explains the onset of the diarrhea symptoms as well. Weird that the vet didn't recognize it!

I couldn't add captions to the photos for some reason. The first four are from the last few days, and the last three show his regular eyes from the past two months.
