Hi Susan
I do remember someone on the list had a kittie with an problem eye.
I just cannot remember who it was. Hopefully
someone will see your post and be able to help you with Autumn's
symptoms.
Other than her eye, how has she been?

I had to take Autumn to the vet today. Yesterday I noticed that
she would sit with her right eye squinched shut. I tried to wash
it and she got mad and bit. I tried to give her overnight to
resolve it, but this morning she barely opened it. She kept
sitting with her eyes closed or in a loaf position. She wasn't
playing or moving much. I noticed her pupil wasn't dilating like
the left eye. I made the decision to get her in to the vet ASAP
this morning. They didn't see any lesions, but her eye pressure
was 28. For comparison her good eye was 14. They gave us a topical
anti-inflammatory. Her vet said that the inflammation is behind
the eye and they don't know what is causing it - possibly she
could have given herself a black eye somehow. The other option is
that this is FELV related. Anyone had something similar?
Her eye is now open because of the meds. She actually played a
bit. I worry about my little bug.
