This morning I noticed something strange about one of Pixie's eyes --
it won't dilate in response to light like the other eye and the pupil
stays the size of a fat grain of rice. She's four years old.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Does she need to see the vet?

Giselle,
You should probably take her in for an exam. This could be caused by a head
injury from a fall, etc. (i.e.,what could have caused the head trauma or
imbalance to cause such a bump), slight stroke, etc., all of which needs to
have your vet take a quick look. Is she on any meds that

Technically, if you live in an area in which dogs have to take HW prev meds,
cats should be getting those too.
Do you have any details on this cocktail your vet put together? There is no
treatment approved yet though I know there are various schools trying to
find something. I would be
That's really scary!

Dear all, would welcome your input very much--any ideas you may have on what's
wrong with Petey.
Background: My FeLV foster kitten Daisy recently went to her (lovely) new
forever home. Her companion, also positive, is Petey.. He's 7, and he's the
sweetest cat you ever met. He welcomed Daisy
HAS anyone done a CBC? I'm wondering if his red blood cell count is down,
which might account for the shortness of breath since they carry oxygen.
Pale gums can be a sign of low red blood cells.
I'm not a vet, I've just got a dog with low red and white cells from a tick
borne disease.
thanks Sidney, good point---I imagine the emergency clinic wd have had to wait
for bloodwork results and so presumably the regular vet will do that this
morning. Will ask abt CBC and see what it says.

My Tucson (pos) has had a couple of episodes where she wouldn't eat. Since
she's a hefty 18 lbs and LOVEs her food, that was a signal to me, as were the
pale gums and lethargy. Vet did blood work and found very low White Blood
Count. He gave her a series of immune-regulin and the wbc
I've noticed this before in certain Felv or FIV cats, on occasion,
without there being any physical trauma causing it. Don't know why,
if it means something neurological going on or what.

The ER vet missed congestive heart failure signs on Keisha's chest xrays. She
was breathing hard, did not want to eat. She was not FeLV+ but this sounds
similar. Encourage her to join Feline Assisted Feeding yahoo group (FAF)..Petey
will go into liver failure if she doesn't get him eating. When
Hi Kerry,
What's his HCT, anemia will cause these types of symptoms.

I have a rescued male (neutered now) who is probably 2 or 3 years
old. When I got him I noticed one eye wouldn't dilate. The vet said
he is probably blind in that eye, but it hasn't bothered him in the
least. He is active, eats like a pig and is a big lovable boy. He
was also FelV neg when
Giselle, In my previous e-mail I neglected to mention this cat
I rescued had an injury to his head just above the eye that won't
dilate and the vet said most likely this caused him to go blind
in that eye.
