My cat was fine yesterday. He was active and could see fine. This morning I found him in the lawn in what seemed like a sedated state. Limp but purring. I took him to the vet and found out that he is blind but they don't know why. No external sign of trauma. I live in eastern Pennsylvania.

Check for antifreeze toxicity; if your vet can't or won't, go somewhere else. This isn't the only possibility but it has to be ruled out ASAP.
Trauma, other neurotoxins, or a stroke-like condition could also be the cause. The cat should have a full workup in any event.

because that's got here about more advantageous than once, that's not stroke proper (till the cats all are having strokes as a results of a chemical on your section). If this replaced into ingested and that's brought about with the help of a poisonous reaction, it ought to educate up on a blood try. you extremely opt to envision with your vet---HOW is the cat getting it and the position is she getting it. If she's interior, you're in all probability searching at a diverse chemical than nightshade. Cats do not devour feces. they don't chew on nightshade (a minimum of not the cats we've the following, I pull the stuff up, yet not some thing has ever chewed on it except insects). Are you particular there is not a backyard remedy or container spraying happening that's getting on the cat and being ingested even as the cats sparkling themselves? some thing farm proper? (And certain, even farms may have indoor cats. My sister has numerous that are interior in common words on her dairy farm).

definately seek othe advice but mostly blindness is cause by nerves or trauma in their head. Also, has the cat got into anything like antifreeze or other dangerous things? Hope he snaps out of it, best wishes

The vet is sure he is blind? Is it possible he is having seizures or in a state of coma?? Was blood work done? X-rays. I would say take your cat to another vet or ask for a referral to a specialist

It could be a tumor pressing on the optic nerve. You had better get an X-ray.
