I believe it is. Thank u so much what a relief!
BUT, do observe. The third eyelid coming out is not in itself a warning there is something wrong with the eye, but its a warning there is something going on in the body. Its typically an infection or inflammation somewhere. Not seldom it is "just" worms, and a deworming is the cure.
So I should still be concerned and take her to the vet?You got your answer.
Good luck!
You got the reassuring comment a little third eyelid is common when they are relaxing.
Good u bring that up. I actually have another question. She sometimes shakes her head and once in a while scratches one of her ears. However I clean her ears once a week and never Really notice anything other than a little bit of dirty. Even though it is not visible could she still have ear mites? I mean she scratches her ear and shakes her head so she might?
Your cat looks healthy and normal to me from the pics. The shaking of the head along with the eyelid *might* indicate an issue. It doesn't sound like ear mites to me but I'm not a vet. As Catspaw said, careful with the ear cleaning. She might possibly have whatever solution you're using to clean with (if any) in the ear canal or maybe some wax build up which causes her to shake. It never hurts to call the vet when you have questions.
That was what Tanner did too. He had what l thought was dirt in his ears (l'd never seen ear mites before) and the third eyelid showing, and of course the constant scratching and head shaking. The vet cleaned them out, but l had to take him back for a second round. He was otherwise normal, not sick, but the vet said if they over-scratch they can actually damage the ear cartilage. lt's definitely worth a mention when she's in for her shots.
She has them clean but like I said it's because I don't let them get dirty. She goes for her second round in another week so I might go Monday since everything is closed today. Thanks for all ur help and everyone else who gave me their input.
