Thanks bunches Elsewhere!!!! The article you linked to mentions Horner's Syndrome. I googled that and got lots of good info. The ear infection could be putting pressure on nerves that control the pupil. I probably would have freaked when I read that FeLuc and FIP can cause it too, but he's been tested for both (negative results, thank heaven).
This poor little guy has been through the ringer. He had an eye infection when I got him. Matter of fact that's how I got him. A friend was fostering him but couldn't afford to take him to the vet for the infection. I had the medicine at home so offered to take care of him. The plan was to clear up the infection and give him back. That idea lasted about two days.   Then when we went to the vet the first time he had a bellyful of worms and manage. Next time we went he had an ear infection. Like I said before I thought we cleared up the infection. Either it didn't clear up or it came back. Added to all of this he is a little thing and thin. I started giving him canned food to help him put on weight at the vet's recommendation.
We go back to the vet Friday. I hope he gets a good report, but am concerned. Last night it looked to me like his face is swollen. That's new.
I still think it's ironic that Mikey, the itty bitty orphan is healthy as can be and growing at an incredible rate. Krissy, who was with his momma until regular weaning age, has been non-stop sick.
