Type: article
Abstract: Horner's syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by the dysfunction of the oculosympathetic pathway. This case report discusses Horner syndrome in a 9-month-old Persian cat, presenting with signs of eye discharge, anisocoria, third eyelid prolapse, and blackish ear discharge. The diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, noting characteristic features of Horner syndrome, and otodectic ear mites were identified. Treatment with antibiotics and ear-cleansing agents resolved the condition over a two-week period. This report highlights the link between otitis and Horner syndrome, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment.
