My cats eyes

[BruceJeffriBentley]

He has been that way since we knew him. I tried getting pictures, to take to my friend who runs a shelter, but its pretty much impossible because his eyes are so tiny, and the cones can only be seen from the side view.
The colors are even and normal in his eyes, its just these cones that stick out.

Are the cone shapes of what appears to come from the pupil "invading" the iris or the cornea?



Yes! Thats what it looks like. Bentley had been diagnosed with 6 URI's while he was at the shelter.

He has no discharge coming out of his eyes. The vet always mention yellowing of his eyes, third eye, and those are white and healthy looking.
On my own research, I found that FIP can make the eyes have smeared lines of color? I guess thats how to describe it, or brown lines in them.

The two older cats, 1yr 8months, and 2 yrs, 6months, came to us about 2 months after the first cat passed away. We did the disinfecting and everything it suggested before adopting again.

I guess I should also mention, Bentley's weight showed him being very healthy for his age, so the vet suggested not getting the FIP test now. And monitor his behavior, eating, etc.

I didn't notice any changes in the eyes of Fiorella, the foster kitten I took back into care from the adoption center when I saw she wasn't recovering from her cold. She had the dry version of FIP.

It doesn't sound like your Bentley has FIP. Perhaps he had it but has thrown it off, in which case he will test positive to the antibodies. Repeat URI's seem to affect the eyes though only in terms of occasional discharge which you say Bentley doesn't have.

Some bolstering of his immune system - Lysine on his food, vit.B complex, that sort of thing might help him since getting through 6 URI's in ?about 3-4 months is a lot.

It can be a bit nerve wracking to be told to observe because the vet doesn't quite know what is going on. I rushed Challenge to the vet this morning because he had a major blood and blood clots poop late last night but the vet said it was probably a temporary irritation from stress, getting into a different food, etc. and he wasn't really concerned. I felt a combination of relief and frustration because I'd rather get a definitive answer.
