My cats eyelids...

Question
Hi. One of my 9 month old cat's eyelids are.. weird.

Cats have something of a double eyelid right?

In both of his eyes, in the corner on his nose, his double eyelid is partially over his eye. It's been this way for 2 days. He also has lots of eye boogers.

Could it be allergies?

Answer
Kayla,

This sounds like an eye infection to me. Your kitty should see the vet immediately because seeing the third eyelid (which is the grayish membrane that covers the eye from the inside) can indicate that your kitty is in poor health or he may just have a case of conjunctivitis. If your kitty has an eye infection your vet will prescribe antibiotic drops that have to be administered for a set period of time until the infection clears up. I do recommend washing your hands before handling your cat to prevent any further bacteria ending up in his eyes and afterwards because these eye infections are contagious to people as well in some cases. Allergies wouldn't cause the third eyelid to cover the eye, they would be more likely to cause hair loss and itchiness.
