    There is a darker spec that you can see at the 9 oclock position and she's always had that. It used to show more when she was younger and had gold coloured eyes. They have darkened with age.

    The vet did examine the eyes and said they were just iris cysts. Iris cysts can grow but they don't always get bigger once they reach a certain size. He said they were definitely not iris melanomas.
    Well coloring can develope with age- in eyes and coat colors. Maybe have the Cerf test done. They can tell.
    Hottie has a spot in his right eye. It has grown in darkness with his age. The test showed it was coloring, but my regular vet said it was a cyst. Its an extensive test to Cerf as you know.
    I wish I had more to offer you..

    If you look closely at the black spots, they seem to create shadows on the iris so it's like they are further forward...like flat discs that float just in front of the iris muscle. They are also too perfectly round to be normal colouration of the iris.
    The vet showed me a book with some photos in it of iris cysts and it commented in there about how they tend to form at the 6 oclock position...like our Jess's. The ones in the photos looked like our Jess's.

    Well- if it were me, I would have a specialist look at it ..

    The big black circle is the cyst, right? It isn't the pupil? I think Michelle's thinking that is the pupil lol.

    Yea hard to tell. Iris can change colors or have spots- but not always a cyst.
