My cat has an eye bump and vets don't know. Should I see a specialist?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Female | spayed

Who should I take my cat to go see for the bump on her eye and vision? I went to 2 different vets and they said it might be a benign tumor but that they truly don't know. One said I can go see an ophthalmologist for animals. Will they know??

A board certified veterinary ophthalmologist would be the next logical step. He or she will have the knowledge and training to properly diagnose a possible tumor on or around Negra's eye. You can find a certified specialist in your area at the following website: http://www.acvo.org/new/public/locate.shtml
