I has a 5 week old with what appears to be some type of film over her eyes. I'm attaching a picture in a few look closely you can see what I mean. It almost looks like she has cataracts or something. What do I do about this. Anybody help. Are you doing life

I dont see clearly, but I suspect this is a big so called  third eye-lock.  Its usually no real eye fault, its typically a sign they do have some inflammation or infection somewhere in the body.  Where, we cant know at this moment.   Often its "just"  worms.   He surely has worms!    surely round worms, and possibly also tape worms, if he was flea infested.

continue.   A good dewormer for round worms is Nemex2, mild, tasty and you can get it OTC...  Or some other nice Pyrantel Poamate preparate...

I suspect he is a mitted point, ie "siamese mix" with white.  This is why his eyes looks unusually blue.   (they ARE blue, right?)

There is surely more to say, but Im going out now, and I wait for further questions and more background...

What do you mean by what I marked in bold letters?

Tx for helping this little guy!

I do see an extended third eyelid but I also see possibly a film over the entire eye.  Any way we could see more pictures?  Closeups?
