Has anyone seen anything like this before??

Tonight hubby and I noticed something strange about Autumn. Her eyes are weird. Her Nictating Membrane(third Eye Lid) is large, and covers a large space of her eye. Has anyone seen anyting like this before?? Here is a good pic of what I am talking about.

I noticed that in her earlier pics, but thought it would adjust itself.

I assume she has been to the vet and dewormed and all?

This eyelid can indicate worms, or just feeling run down.

Or - perhaps some kitty's eyelids are just like this normally.

A call to the vet won't cost...it's best to ask, I think.

Oh yes, she has been wormed and all that. But I am thinking I am going to call the vet tomarrow just to be safe. Hopefully he is around. I have been checking around on the Web, and it dosent seem good! Seems when the Nictating Mambrane is visible like this, it usually means the cat is ill. But it can also be cause by Mal-nutrition, which is also a good possibility, since she is very underweight. I just hope it is nothing serious, and it can be fixed. Poor Baby.

It could be her nutrition, since she is a 'foundling'. Maybe some of the AD recovery food by Hill's would help. Your vet should have it.

She has such a sweet face!

How is her personality?? Is she acting herself?? Paris had come down with a cold and she was running a fever and I noticed that her third eyelids were showing and her personality changed mainly she just didn't feel good. Feel her ears and see if she could be running a low grade fever. She may have a cold??

She seems fine, she is running and playing just like a typical kitten.

I'd think it would be OK...that it's just how little Autumn's eyes are (Just like us Hoomans...some have heavy eyelids while others have hardly any). I doubt there's anything wrong. Some kitties you just see the eyelid. And it likely might be something Autumn will grow out of. When I got Howard as a kitten, you could see his a bit, but now you can't any longer (he only shows it as he rolls his eyes when he's really enjoying a good petting).

By the way, cute photo.
