I've never really understood how to tell what the third eyelid looks like- on either dogs or cats
Right now Cricket (temporary name!) has weird looking eyes. I don't know the technical terms here but it looks like they're tilted in towards eachother. For example, when you're looking at him, his left eye is twisted to the right and his right eye is a little twisted to the left. It's a lot easier to notice when the light is bright and his pupils (hey is that the right term!? I think it is!) are small & kind of oblong... Also in the inner corner of the eye there is like part of his eye socket covering a wedge of his eye? Is that the 3rd eyelid? It's definetely sticking farther out than his brothers.
Does the twisty eye have anything to do with me being able to see his third eyelid?
I have a vet appt for 3:40 on Tuesday but I'm wondering if I should take him in to another vet that is open tomorrow... I'm guessing everyone is going to say yes so looks like I have to get up early!
I'm just curious if that's really what I'm seeing and if they have anything to do with eachother...
Sorry I always type long posts! Congratulations on getting to the end!
