This is Crystal and she is a white horse with blue eyes. Very normal. However, her owner called me out one day because her other eye had changed color. This is what it looked like before:
And this is what it looked like after:
The pictures don't really capture all that I could see with my eyes - but I think they are cool pictures in and of themselves. :) What I was seeing (for the vet folk who read this blog) was significant aqueous flare, corneal neovascularization, and something I'm sure there is an ophtho word for that I just can't remember: the iris was not flat. It was swollen and poofy. Like a balloon.
Not to mention that the eye was now bright yellow instead of blue.
The diagnosis was significant uveitis of unknown origin. I treated her as aggressively as I could but it was too little, too late and she did lose her vision in that eye. :( But she's happy and comfortable and gets around just fine.
Crazy yellow eye, though.
