My FIV+ cat is blind with chorioretinitis. Is it a tumor or infection?

Question

My FIV+ cat suddenly went blind 1 mth ago. Dxed with possible optic neuritis. Toxoplasmosis and cryptococcosis negative. Today, vet saw chorioretinitis in 1 eye. Does this lower the possibility of tumour and raise possibility of inflammatory/infectious processes?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It does make infectious/inflammatory more likely though there is still a possibility that this is something else such as a tumor. I recommend following up with your veterinarian as they know the case better. Have a good day!
