Thanks in advance for any help. I have a female cat, fixed, 10yrs old. I have had her since she was 5 months old. In the course of the last two weeks (roughly), I have noticed a change in her eyes and today I was able to get a good look. This is worrying to me, and her regular vet has been unable to see her due to covid. I have attached a picture from today and one from about two weeks ago. Does anybody have any idea as to what's going on and if I should seek help from another vet? Thank you!

I'd see your vet as soon as possible. It could be any number of issues but all need a vet to properly diagnosis and treat. Since it does seem to be progressing, if you have another vet you trust I would see a different vet if they can see you sooner. You can also try reaching out to your vet and let them know its an eye issue that is getting worse. I usually make an appointment with my vet but tell them to call me if there are any cancels and I can be there within an hour.

Yes, definitely, as Kieka mentioned above,...take her to see a Vet asap.
If you could email the photos to your Vet...I would do that, too.
But if they cannot see you, any other Vet would do.

There are opthamalogists for cats. If you can find one, that is really your best bet. These could be "eye freckles", and most of the time that's what they are, but sometimes they can progress to cancer so that's why you should see a specialist.
