I am new to this list and to the world of Feline Leukemia. We have 3 precious

Anne,
I've had friends whose cats have lost their sight during various routine
procedures where they had to be anethistized. Four of the six regained some
sight in time.

Can the vet check his blood pressure to see if it's high? That can cause
pressure in the eyes and lead to blindness.

Ask the vet if he used Ketamine. This is an injected anesthesia and many times
results in dilated pupils. T
So sorry this happened to Dublin, but hopefully, he will regain at least
some sight.

Well I got surprisingly good news when I stopped at the vet around 5:00!
Dublin is calmer, he drank and ate well, AND his pupils are showing light
reflex now!! They constricted and he even flinched away when the vet shone
the light in his eyes. So at least he should be able to sense light and
dark,
Excellent. It still could be a reaction to the anesthesia, especially since he
is FeLv+ but I have had several FeLv+ and FIV+ (both positive together in same
cat) neutered and no problems with eyes. Maybe it has to do with the
stomatitis, bacteria going into body, causing a reaction. Anyway,
YES!
