Your cat’s eyes rolling back and the increased visibility of the whites of her eyes can be concerning and may indicate a potential health issue.
- Increased tension or distress in your cat
- Potential neurological or eye-related issue
- Recommendation for a possible vet visit
It’s important to observe your cat for any additional symptoms like changes in behavior, appetite, or coordination. These signs could indicate a range of conditions, from minor to more serious neurological or ocular issues. While it might not be an emergency, it is advisable to have a vet evaluate her symptoms to determine the appropriate action. Cats can be good at hiding their discomfort, so an expert opinion is valuable.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
