A corneal stromal abscess was diagnosed in a 13‐year‐old domestic shorthaired cat. A superficial keratectomy was performed to obtain samples for cytological and bacteriological examination. These confirmed the diagnosis and, following medical management with topical and systemic antibiotics, the lesion resolved completely.
