Default One eye darker than the other?



Well, because her next appointment is in only a couple of weeks, to get
blood tests because she was recently put on metacam. *Vet trips stress
her, when she stresses she gets cystitis, which usually means a vet
visit...



Oh, in that case, include it on your list of questions.

I'm a little paranoid about cat eye problems, as one of ours has
cataracts (born with them) and glaucoma in one eye. Regular vets (IME)
have limited knowledge about cat eyes, so we see a specialist.

I am not suggesting that the following applies here, but your post
reminds me of a story I saw on TV earlier this year in which a mother
noticed one of her baby daughter's eyes looked different from the
other in flash photos. She posted the photos on the Internet and some
doctor took notice and contacted here saying the girl may have an
aggressive form of eye cancer. Turns out she did. The eye was
removed in time to save her life.

Good to keep in mind. FWIW, when I end up with Devil Cat (black cat with
glowing eyes) they glow equally

Hmmm, interesting. I took a picture of her yesterday on her new perch,
got glowing green cat eyes - and the "darker" eye is definitely glowing
differently - darker green, not as much of a halo.

Definitely something to ask the vet, and will move her appointment up as
much as I can.

I hope it turns out to be nothing.

So do I. I looked back at old pictures and the other pic I kept with
glowing eyes also has the same effect, from 2006, so I'm pretty sure
it's nothing.

I don't think I would be at all concerned if this were only a question about
a picture with glowing eyes. A difference in color there could be
attributed to angle of light or position of the camera. However, I think
it's worth mentioning to your vet since you noted the same difference just
by looking at Meep. I do think you will probably find that there is no
problem, and that is certainly what I *hope* to hear. Please keep us
updated.
