Brown spot in his eye?

[critters]

There must be a disease of the iris' pigment, although I don't know what it's called. Just yesterday I had Polly in because her left eye, which is notably darker than her right, is so inflamed. Dr. C specifically asked questions about the pigment, how long it had been like that, etc. Not much help, I know, but maybe you can search up something?

I had a foster cat who had patches of color like that in his eyes. His were from having eye infections from when he was at the shelter, and the vet said it was scarring on his retina or whatever it is that they have (is it the same??). It didn't harm Bear's sight, but when he had horrendous eye infections at the shelter and his eyes were always pasted shut, you'd see more of them later on. While he was with me, his eyes never got like that because I always made sure I cleaned them, put ointment in them. I never saw any additional ones either.

I'd take him to the vet, ferocity or not, and have the vet check it out. Peace of mind is better for you and you should make sure kitty is not sick.

Thank you for all your help everyone.
I will defiantly show the vet a couple of photos of Picasso's eye, but it will have to wait a bit. We are bringing Picasso in for his booster shots I think it was, in about 2 weeks. I'll ask the vet then.
He's had this brown spot in his eye ever since we got him, and he's about a year old now, so waiting 2 more weeks to see what it is probably wont hurt.
I'll make another post after we find out, since you guys all seem to care so much! ♥ ♪

Here is a link I found; I think this is what the Cat Fancy article was about.

I guess only the vet can tell you if it is cause to be worried. But if it is this stuff, the longer you wait, the worse off the cat will be. As the article says, in the early stages it is treated with meds. Only later is eye removal the only option.

I don't want to alarm you or worry you but a couple of years ago when I was rescuing ferals, I thought that one of them had one blue eye and one brown eye. When I was finally able to trap her to take her in to be spayed, the vet looked at it and immediately said "This is a tumor and the surgery can be expensive." (It turned out she had other things wrong w/her, too, so I had to make the decision to have her put to sleep.) So just to be safe, have your vet check it out before it gets out of hand. Good luck.

It just dawned on me that I still have a pic of Mooka, the cat that I mentioned in the previous post. Here she is and you can clearly see the tumor (the brown spot) on her left eye.

Just to be safe, take Picasso to the vet. Get him checked out then. I hope it isn't anything serious or deadly. **hugs** are coming to you and Picasso. Keep posting!

Is Picasso neutered? That could be one reason why he is so fierce at the vet's.

Good luck!
