A few weeks ago I thought that Tyler's iris looked more yellowish even reddish than normal. I could not get him in good lighting to really see and then when I did he was fine so I thought it was my imagination.
Last night I thought I saw it again and this morning I was sure that there was a red spot on the bottom part of the iris. I didn't think it was completely critical but thankfully I did call the vet. He couldn't see Ty today so he sent me over the emergency vets. I left work as soon as my vet told me how serious it was.
Tyler has high blood pressure. As a result his retinas are detaching. His left eye will probably not improve but his right should. I realized how bad his eyesight was when he was walking around the examine room. It was obvious that he could see things far away but not close up. He kept walking into the wall but he was looking up at the examine table and the counter top.
He is now on meds for his blood pressure.
I am posting this so everyone knows - if they think their kitties eyes look like they have blood take them immediately to the vets.
