Answer
Hello Michelle,

I'm sorry to hear this about your poor cat.  I'm not a vet so couldn't say what might be wrong with him, but what I can say is that you definitely need to take him to see a vet.  Any change in the appearance of a cat's eye, whether it's discharge, swelling or the appearance of the third eyelid, is a cause for concern.  An infection can be quite simple to clear up with the right medication but can lead to a very poorly cat, and even blindness, if left untreated.

Best of luck with this - I hope he is on the road to recovery soon.

Take care
Annie
