June is Adopt A Cat Month, and here at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, we’re celebrating our feline friends with an entire month of blogposts devoted just to cats. I’m hoping many kittens and cats will get “fur”ever homes this month. Earlier this month, I wrote about red eyes in cats, a common condition affecting our feline companions. For my final blogpost of the month, I’m returning to eyes—but this time exploring the evolution of feline eye color and what it tells us about our feline companions.

June is Adopt A Cat Month, and here at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, we’re celebrating our feline friends with an entire month of blogposts devoted just to cats. I’m hoping many kittens and adult cats will find their “fur”ever homes this month. While many new pet parents will welcome playful kittens, some will choose to adopt older cats—and today’s blogpost is for them.

Red eyes can result from any number of medical issues, which I will detail below.

June is Adopt A Cat Month, and here at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, we’re celebrating our feline friends with an entire month of blogposts devoted just to cats. June is a good month to celebrate cats because kitten season is in full swing and the photo in this blogpost shows Spunky and Rascal, brother kittens who are being fostered by friends of mine. Today’s blogpost focuses on the Pandora syndrome in cats.

Earlier this month, the Schwarzman Animal Medicine Center hosted a continuing education lecture for AMC’s partner veterinarians. This evening event featured Drs. Pamela Schwartz and Daniel Spector of the Denise and Michael Kellen Institute for Surgical Care. They presented the exciting upgrades in surgical capabilities in our new surgery suites. While veterinarians will gawk at the innovative tools and techniques now available to AMC veterinary surgeons, these advances may not be fully appreciated by pet parents who are primarily concerned with their pets’ outcome, not necessarily how it was achieved. I’ll try to translate these improvements for pet parents in today’s blogpost.
