Hi Susan, It may be a corneal ulcer. Smookie lost one of her eyes to this, we suspect, before we adopted her, and she had another ulcer when we adopted her, which would only clear up with high doses of lysine (500 mg 2x per day). Smookie's ulcer was flush with the rest of his eye, like it was underneath the lens; there was no lump. Hope this helps.

But he has a new problem right now and it is one I have never seen before. His eye was watering; in trying to wipe it and medicate I noticed what looked like a wad of yellowish-white "eye goop" and I tried to wipe it away -- but it is an ulcer - a lump, for lack of a better term - attached to his eye. I have started him on lysine, because in other ways the eye looks herpes-y -- but I have never seen a lump on the eyeball like this. Anyone??? I haven't yet taken him to the vet -- hate to put him through the stress if I don't have to -- and you guys know way more than most vets when it comes to feleuk! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC
