Adie's pupil: This is a rare condition that affects the muscles that control the size of the pupils.

It can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, including neck injury, tumor, or neurological disorders.

Horner's syndrome: This condition occurs due to damage to the sympathetic nerves that control pupil dilation.

It is usually asymptomatic and requires no treatment.

Physiological anisocoria: This is a benign condition where there is a slight difference in pupil size between the two eyes, with no underlying pathology.

What Is Anisocoria?Īnisocoria is a medical condition where the pupils of the eyes are unequal in size. Can Anisocoria Be a Sign of a Serious Medical Condition? 7. Can Anisocoria Be Temporary or Is It Always Permanent? 6. the last thing I would want is for it to be a sign of something worse going on.1. I'm so sorry to hear about Scoobs That's why I've been keeping a close eye on Murray's eyes. As if I wasn't already putting him through enough, the poor dude Also, talk about an adorable cat!

I think getting into the habit of cleaning his ears a little more often might just be necessary. As I said, it seemed to get better when he was getting the ear drops, and it's never been as bad as it was that first day, but it's still there ever so slightly, so.

But, the fact that he was treated for an ear infection with ear drops and that the vet seemed to think that was the cause makes me think what your cat had is similar to whatever is affecting Murray. googling "my cat has two different sized pupils" gives you results that vary from "ear infection" to "your cat has a tumour and they're going to die right now", so I tried to avoid doing that. Waheeda, thank you so much! I know it could be any number of things, really.

that his diabetes could cause certain things to not work the way they should, or something along those lines? Is this something I should be really worried about, or was the vet right about not worrying?Īgain, if this isn't the place, please let me know. has this ever happened to anyone else before? Could Murray's dental problems (he has a few teeth that really need to be pulled soon) be causing this as well? Or, even, his diabetes? That was something the vet had sort of alluded to being possible. Part of me says I should take him in to the vet to get looked at again, but I really don't know if they'll be able to do much more than what they did last time, you know? So. Never quite as bad as in that picture, but enough of a difference for me to notice right away and worry a little. Now, I'm starting to see it happen again every once in a while. I was sent home with ear drops to give to him for two weeks, and his eyes seemed to be relatively back to normal. However, of course, the vet did do her best to help with the eye issues, suggesting that it was caused by either an ear infection they had noticed, or possibly due to polyps in his ears. Of course, that's when the diabetes diagnosis happened, so that was getting quite a bit of attention.

Obviously, seeing that had completely freaked me out, and by the end of day I'd ditched work early to be able to bring Murray in to get checked out. Link to a picture from the day can be found here. When I had brought Murray in to the vet when he was diagnosed with diabetes, the original reason for taking him in was due to a rather severe, sudden case of anisocoria/one pupil being larger than the other. it's one of those things I'm not really sure where to look for answers. But, all of the information I found through googling wasn't all that helpful, and my vet's reaction to this whole thing was less than helpful.Īs far as I know, this is unrelated to my cat Murray's diabetes, but. if it's not the place or anything like that, totally let me know. So, kind of an odd question to post in here.
