The eye looks a bit cloudy? Was it like that before the protozoa? If not, then I'd say it's the same cause and it too should go away with medication. Since it affected her fin I wouldn't be surprised if it could affect the eye on a cellular level. Reason I say that is because one of my cats kept getting a cloudy eye when she was a kitten. Can't find a photo of it but it was scary, looked like she was going blind. The vet wasn't sure about the cause but guessed infection in cells of the eye. It would go away with antibiotics and after a few courses it didn't come back. Were planning to do blood tests the next time so never got a definitive answer. Thing is, I always suspected she came home with something from the cattery and knowing that we had incidents of protozoa there, it could've been that. Just a wild guess and I wouldn't be surprised if pet shops deal with similar outbreaks occasionally, especially if the conditions aren't optimal because I will admit that cattery was overdue for an overhaul; was always doing free overtime to make sure the kitties had a clean environment. As for the bulging, it could be weight-loss has made her eyes look more pronounced or could be swelling. Sounds like you're doing everything you can, she's a lucky lotl Glad you caught it early enough
