Hello,

My cat has a brown spot in her eye, I feel sure it's Iris Melanosis, but I don't know if it's benign or malignant. Of course, I'm worried about her and I hope it's just benign. Monday is the soonest I can get her to the vet. Does anyone have any knowledge about Iris Melanosis and do you know if it's more often benign or malignant? Thanks for any input.

Les gave very good advice,I had never heard of this until her cat had eye problems...my dd has a brown spot on her eye and the dr says it is just a discolor..nothing to worry about!

Thanks, to both of you, for your replies. I just want to hear the vet say that I have nothing to worry about. I actually don't know if there is a vetinary ophthamologist around here, but if there is, I guess the vet will know. I dislike waiting, for this, just more time to worry and not know for sure.
