[Felvtalk] Uneven pupils

2013-12-20 Thread Katherine K.
Hi everyone, I just noticed my 10 year old FeLV cat, Krammer, has uneven pupils. He had a winky/weepy eye a couple of weeks ago for a few days, where he had some drainage and one eye was squinty with a smaller pupil. It cleared up on it's own after a few days (I give him lysine). A day or two ago

Forgot to say - Krammer has an appointment for Monday morning with his usual vet, but I could take him tomorrow if needed. I am not sure how urgent it is. On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 10:44 AM, Katherine K. kaths...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, I just noticed my 10 year old FeLV cat, Krammer,

I can tell you from experience that sometimes an uneven pupil can be caused by an ear infection. Good luck with your babies(-: Sent from my absolutely outstanding iphone(: On Dec 20, 2013, at 9:46 AM, Katherine K. kaths...@gmail.com wrote: Forgot to say - Krammer has an appointment for

I think there can be a variety of causes. Some of the ones of concern, I think, are high blood pressure, tumor, and toxoplasmosis possibly. We had a 14 year old feral FIV+ kitty who had an eye issue like this and my vet felt it was a tumor, we then found out she had CRF and toxoplasmosis (vet

Anisocoria can be an indicator of FeLV presence, though I don’t think it indicates progression of the disease in any way that we know about. Ember developed anisocoria almost five years ago, when she was seven. I haven’t taken her to a specialist, but we ruled out toxo. At times, the vet has

One of my cats has uneven pupils, but he is not FelV positive. He was hit on the head by some low life bastard before I rescued him. Lorrie On 12-20, gbl...@aristotle.net wrote: The only ones I've had with uneven pupils are Felv cats, and then only a couple.

Hi all, Off topic or a new one. My poor Bryyn is having an awful time. Does anyone have experience with severe mouth pain? I've been told by vets that she's too young for stomatitis, but she's having a horrific time. My vet prescribed prednisone, but not only does it not seem to help, we're

I have 2-3 methods I use 1) I started out giving a depomedrol injection periodically (once every 4-6 weeks or as needed). Seems like it's 1/2 cc depo. 2) Then someone suggested oral dexamethasone - so I give about 1/2 cc Dex orally, and it lasts a few days. Sometimes though they're quite
