    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 guess I would try to get her into the vet...... If you can.....It may be worth a try.....It will put your mind at ease and you may catch something early before she gets too ill. Good Luck she really looks like a little sweetheart ((HUGS))) From Wisconsin!! Poor Baby....

    With all my guys when the inner eyelid appears like that almost always it's a sign they are not feeling well. Just went through that with Jazz last month - she had a little URI flare and the first sign was her eyes.

    Well I called the vet today, and he said to just keep an eye on her. He said it could be from Parasites, and since she has just been treated for them, it should go away after a few days. He also said it could be from poor nutrition, or an infection. so just like Mocha when she first came home, Autumn is on Lysine daily, as well as Natural eye drops. She also has wet food added to her diet, to hopefully put some meat on her bones! If it dosent go away after a few days, she will be going in to the vets, for a check up. She seems more than happy to take her meds, and of course the wet food was a huge hit!
