Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed
I accidentally put Auri goutte (french) ear medication in my cat's eye some time ago when we believe she had a fight with our other cat and may have gotten scratched; She was keeping the eye closed and blinking for a few days afterwords, but then seemed fine; this all happened a couple months ago. I just noticed that part of that (right) eye is a light brown color when the other eye is all light blue.

Hello. I do not think putting the medication in the eye months ago is causing this situation with Lily now, but you definitely need to have this checked out by your veterinarian. A color change can indicate the presence of uveitis, a general term used to describe inflammation in certain parts of the eye. There are several possible causes or underlying diseases that can cause this, but only a thorough ophthalmologic exam will diagnose the problem. I hope you can have her seen soon.
