There is obvious hyphaema (blood in the anterior chamber) which has clotted, suggesting a high fibrin content. The remaining view of the aqueous chamber is slightly hazy due to aqueous flare. The iris blood vessels are very prominent suggestive of an intense vasculitis. A focal deposit is visible on the anterior lens capsule and is likely to be a persistent pupillary membrane. The pupil has slightly irregular margins.

FIP was diagnosed in this case. The cat had very high serum globulin levels (69 g/l [6.9 g/dl]), predominantly comprising gamma globulins on serum protein electrophoresis. Haematology revealed a mild anaemia, and lymphopenia.
