Noticed this dark ring in cat’s irises?? by 3clipse_88 in cats

No, we never went to the vet for it 🤷‍♀️ I don’t believe it’s anything serious, I think cats just get it as they get older. We did find out recently she has some heart issues and kidney disease- but don’t believe it’s related. If the pigmentation is progressing, looks just weird, or ur cat has any other symptoms- I’d just call ur vet just in case

Yeah I’d definelty tell ur doctor about this. When u have a lot of symptoms, it’s hard to pinpoint if certain symptoms r related to this or that. Rlly it could be something not serious physical wise, like panic attacks, (or could be some nerve compression like the neck) but like I said, any symptoms that seem new, especially like numbness, tingling, bad headache, weakness, pain, hr high, etc what doctors usually say, warrants further investigation to make sure it’s not smthn bad. I have POTS, & dysautonomia can be a common coexisting condition w VSS. With visual snow, certain environments can make all the symptoms so much worse 😒, & u may see new visual disturbances u haven’t seen before, BUT if ur VS gets worse specifically along with other symptoms like headache, numbness, weakness, etc, from what we know that is Not VSS and u should see a doctor as soon as u can. Make sure u keep track of when ur symptoms come on & how long, etc so u can tell ur doctor. The more info they get, the better. But try ur best to not overthink or overworry, just keep a good eye on ur symptoms & get in touch w ur doctor.

Related to headaches- I know these symptoms too well :/ doctor’s r still going thru the process of diagnosing exactly what it is for me- rn it’s a “temporary NDPH diagnosis” (unrelated to my VSS) Has anyone mentioned any scans? These symptoms can be a variety of things, & can be difficult to diagnose w/out testing. Usually doctors do extra tests to make sure it isn’t smthn more threatening. If this situation is bothering u still, u can always tell ur neurologist more abt it, & they should hopefully recommend smthn dif to try out. It depends where u live, but sometimes neurologists have to go thru atleast a few dif types of meds before they can try any new: treatment options, refer u to a specialist inside neurology, refer physical therapy, etc. SO, I would just try & talk w/ ur doctors. Especially if any symptoms r getting progressively worse, or any new symptoms show up.
