Title: Inner Eyelid.
Post by: Pocababs on July 30, 2008, 23:03:02 PM

Today my Cat Daim has been showing his Inner Eyelids slightly in both eyes.

I don't know if I'm being overparanoid as it is mainly when he's been asleep and he wakes up they stay slightly on show for a couple of seconds afterwards. I've checked him over and he seems fine, still eating, hyper as normal etc...

What do you think it could be? Do you think it has anything to do with the heat? I'm thinking of taking him to the vets tomorrow as i'm a worrier.

Thanks for any advice.

My guess is that he is absolutely fine but if they stayed showing then definately a vet visit is needed

OK thanks hun.

I will see what they are like tomorrow.

The vets will think i am strange, i have already been there today as Crunchie has a cut on his lip, only for them to tell me he was fine, and to charge me £31 for the pleasure!  :doh:

They are alot better today!

I think maybe it was alot to do with the heat, as it's rained all night and is thankfully alot cooler today, so everyone is feeling better.

Is it possible for cats to suffer with Hayfever?

Cats can have seasonal allergies just like we do

If third eyelids stay up then its a sign theres something amiss

Just to let you know I took him this afternoon anyway.

She said they weren't inflamed at all and he has no sign of infection so it could have been a reaction to the heat and possibly a sign of Hayfever.
If they come back again and he gets the sneezes it may be Hayfever and i can take him back for some antihistimines for it.
