This can be a sign of an eye problem - the eye can dilate if a toxin has been ingested, or it's possible that the other pupil is actually constricted secondary to pain or a scratch on the eye. I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian for an exam of the eyes. If Nova seems to be painful or disoriented I"d recommend seeing an emergency veterinarian today.
