cats pupils

[andie3]

my 15 year old cat's right pupil has become fixed and dilated for a few hours at a time three times this year.  The left pupil remains normal.  My vet said there is nothing growing behind her eye or anything, and she has no other symptoms when this happens other than going off her food for a few hours and becoming very quiet.  She keeps the right eye closed when this happens and tends to flinch when I try to touch that side of her head when this happens.  The next day she is normal again.

According to my cat's chiropractor this means that her left brain is not working correctly. (Left brain controls right eye.) He has suggested stimulating my 14 year-old cat's brain with Mozart music or any 4/4 time music, especially one instrument melodies. My cat's right pupil does not contract when a light is flashed in it so the idea may be the same as long as there is no other organic problem with the cat. We both like the music so there's no problem there. I also pet, scratch, brush his left side more than his right side to keep up the stimulation. Best of luck.
