My 21-year-old tabby cat, Sassie, has strange growths in her right eye. I'm not sure what they are, but growths are brown and seem connected, looking a little like a segment from a string of pearls plant in her pupil.
Sassie has Feline Cognitive Dysfunction (dementia, diagnosed at 16), hyperthyroidism (diagnosed at 18, takes 2.5 mg Felimazole twice daily), kidney disease (diagnosed at 18, not sure what stage right now), a heart murmur (diagnosed at 10), and experiences the occasional absence seizure (first one occurred in 2018).
These growths don't appear to cause her discomfort, and given her age and current state of health, I will not put her through any painful procedures. I'm just wonder what these things are. She does occasionally hallucinate (or at least they seemed like hallucinations, but maybe she was seeing what was IN her eye?), hissing at things that aren't there.
Any ideas what these growths might be?
I will try and attach a couple of pictures.
