Eyes should be bright and clear. Discharge, irritation, discoloration, tearing or cloudiness, are all signs of eye problems. Check if the third eyelid is showing. These are situations that need to be addressed or could lead to blindness. Usually the treatment is made with application of drops. But you should never apply drops without the indication of a veterinarian. A veterinarian should be consulted for the most appropriate treatment.
Third eyelid
Cats have a third eyelid. This is a membrane that is located in the inner corner of each eye. The third eyelid may become visible when the cat is sick, with cats flu, or diarrhea. In these cases the third eyelid is usually apparent in both eyes. If the cat damaged one eye in a fight usually only the lid of the damaged eye becomes apparent.
When the third eyelid is visible you should always take the cat to the veterinarian.
