My Cat's Eyes Are Always Fully Dilated. This means that in the early stages of illness, often the only thing that a cat owner may notice is that the cat has become quiet and withdrawn. Can you tell me a little more about the cat's situation?
A cat's eyes being dilated can be a sign of illness elsewhere in their bodies. Commonly available radiographs are of little value but veterinarians increasingly rely on ct and mri evaluations. Her overall health is good.
She suspects that probably my cat has an infection for chlamydia, since i told her that mafalda (my cat) catched a cold two weeks ago.
During the day their pupils are small because their eyes don't need that much light, at night the pupil opens up to let in all available light so they can see in the dark. If we notice dilated pupils while playing there is nothing to worry about. Just about anything that gets in your cat's eye can cause an irritated reaction. Dilated eyes (actually the pupils) look like the eyes in the photo below.
