Thanks- I will do so tonight when I get home. I did talk with the holistic vet again and she said when she saw the eye, she thought it reminded her of the scarring that can occur on a kitten's eye from reoccurring/untreated URI's-- all of which he did have, that came and went repeatedly,

Okay. I know that no one can diagnosis- but just to have people compare/contrast/confirm, that might be helpful. His Holistic vet seems to think it's scarring- permanent damage from untreated uri's- which I have never seen in a cat before. So if more experienced people that have seen that
