Hello everyone,
I have a cat who went missing for five days and came back with eyes rolled back/ third eyelid showing (it stayed like this for a week or so), bloody nose, swollen face, and a broken mouth. He was most likely hit by a car or fell from a tree. Or sadly maybe a person did this to him. We took him to the vet for pain meds and antibiotics,etc. Jaw surgery was $8000 so we could not afford it. We were told theres a chance it could heal on it's own. It's been 15 days since and he's been much better. He's beginning to eat soft food on his own and he moves around often. His eyes for the most part look normal now. However, occasionally when he's relaxing , his third eyelid starts showing. When I first asked the vet about his eyes he said theyre probably like that from the shock of the blow. I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this or what it means. Could there be neurological damage or eyesight damage? Is he in pain? And will it subside eventually? Thanks.
