update re toby

i went to the vets with both toby and cass,cass got her 6 mnthly flea injection

i asked again about tobys eyes,as strangers passing the street ask if he's ok coz of his large pupils

the vet said it was ..............atrophy,but he can see as he was flinching from the light,when he shone the torch in his eyes

with regards to his ear scratching,he must have knocked out wot ever was bothering him,coz his ears were clean,cleaner than most cats clean ears lol

my vets good he only charged for cass and not toby

Niki, could this be it? That sounds like what my Misty had when she went blind.

I still think it would be worth getting bloods done to check organ function and T4 count, especially as she is getting on in years.
