I never did ask or find out about his pupils being different sizes, but I don't think it was affected by his health problems of his back legs. I'm glad I didn't opt for the expensive treatments, but with our vet we were able to give him many years of love and enjoyment by accomodating his disability. The vet consulted with her peers and the unanimous consensus was a tumor in his spine.so no amount of treatment would have been able to save him. They did no good and over the years, Rei progressed from hesitating with every step of his back legs, to wobbling when he ran, to being too uncoordinated to run, to walking 10 steps and then suddenly sitting to the side because the muscles would give out, to only being able to make 2-3 steps before falling into the sitting position and finally to having to drag himself on the carpet with his front paws. She offered several options, but I had to choose the one that cost the least, which was cortisone shots every 3-5mo. Bloodtests didn't show anything wrong, but he was definitely having trouble with his motor skills, most noticeable in his back legs. He had a severe problem going on for many years, I had always thought he was a 'klutzy' kitty, but when I noticed in 2004 that he was getting more and more uncoordinated I took him to the vet. Reilly was born some time in early 1999 and we took him in when he was about 8-10mo old. Well, then, not to scare you, but my kitty Reilly had that happen to his eyes fairly regularly.
