Hi so we have 3 cats, Jet(male 9 years old), Holly(female 4 years old) and Zeke(male 6 months old).
All 3 are healthy as of their last vet exams, all 3 up to date on shots, all 3 acting normal(eating, playing, sleeping, cuddling, general cat stuff), but Zeke has 1 pupil that is much larger than the other.
We first noticed the problem about 1 week ago and promptly took him to the vet, blood tests, physical exam and an in-depth eye exam all turned up clear. The vet said since he is young and his blood test was good that she can safely rule out diseases that would cause the condition (anisocoria), and since he is acting 100% fine that it doesn't seem to be anything causing him any pain (infection/tumors/trauma/toxicicity)... So she gave us some medicated eye drops just in case he has a scratch or something on his eye that she couldn't see.
Anyways, we've been giving the drops as directed and he has been fine, no dilation or anything since the visit, no mood or habit changes, nothing... Until today. This morning he woke me up as he usually does, meowing in my face for breakfast, so I got up and fed them (about 8am) and his eyes were fine (have been checking them regularly). I ate my own breakfast, then went and ran some errands, came home at about 11am and didn't notice him any different, put away groceries, ate my lunch and went about my business. After about 30 minutes or so I noticed that one of his pupils is HUGE in the semi-dark room whereas the other is dilated to the proper size. He is still acting normal as are the other cats so no other symptoms than the large pupil...
My question is if anyone has experienced this issue before with no diagnosed problems other than the anisocoria indicating that he may be getting into something around our house that is causing it to happen temporarily?
