Hi my cat Leo has for the past three weeks or so been showing his 3rd eyelid in both eyes. We took him to the vet who could find nothing obvious but said that if things didn't improve then we would have to bring him back to have bloods taken. I was really hoping that this was a virus that would right itself as he is normal in every other way ie he has a good appetite, his coat is good and he comes and goes as normal.
Leo unfortunately is a very scardy cat and he spent a year in rescue with his brother Larry because they were so unsociable and it has taken over a year but he is progressing well and is starting to become very friendly,recently spending the night on the bed with me and my husband
The thing is when we took him to the vet he was very anxious and unfortunately the vet has said he will have to sedate him to take his blood
as he kept trying to escape as well as covering my husband in scratches. I really wish that I didn't have to put him through this but of course I realise that his health is paramount and I'm now wondering what could be wrong, so has anyone had a cat with this condition?
