Hi Margo, Thanks for this info. I apologize, but he could have been sedated, I'm not sure of the difference so I could be mistaken in my description. We were able to 'wake' him afterward but he was very groggy for a good part of the night. I'll ask about these drugs. I'm also gonna take him

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

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 rescues has uneven pupils, and he is negative for FelV and FIV. He had an injury to his head when I found him, and the vet thinks it caused him to go blind in one eye. He's fine otherwise. I've had him for over a year now and he's turned into a real head bonker. I don't think (but not
