Just keep close watch on it; the third eyelid is there for the very purpose of keeping the injury covered so it heals. Certainly if it doesn't get better or looks worse, a visit to the vet would be the next thing to do. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15574#post-356202 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:29:21 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 356202@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This usually clears up on its own, but watch it very closely--if you see a yellow discharge it's infected and needs a call to the vet. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15574#post-356198 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 17:25:18 +0000 mollycat71 356198@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hugs to Hoover, hope the eye gets better soon! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15574#post-356171 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:40:49 +0000 jcat 356171@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jadete, the third eyelid coming over is a definite sign that little Hoover is in pain from his eye and that probably he's had some kind of injury. I would keep a close eye on it and definitely take him to the vet tomorrow if it's no better. {{{Hoover}}}</p> <p>In the meantime, you could try bathing it with cold tea... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/15574#post-355958 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 06:59:15 +0000 SoxsMom 355958@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jadete what a about a call to HM? Any advice there? I hope that it goes away and he will not have to go to the vet.

This morning I got up and saw that poor little Hoover was squinting his left eye, and the third eyelid is about half covering his eye. It is not red and swollen, but he he clearly hurting. Of course, earlier I heard him and Truman playing/fighting, so he may have gotten scratched by accident. I'm just wondering if this is something I should be worried about. Of course, being Sunday, no Vet is open today. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys and gals. </p>
