My 7 year old (one of 5 shelter cats of various ages) has had his third eyelid showing across half of his left eye since Tuesday of this week. He had a vet appointment for it yesterday since it wasn't getting better. The vet said no scratch was visible. He noted that the eye was not dialting correctly was in constant contraction but did not see any injury. A scratch from another cat that healed is a definite possibility. He gave us some opthalmic ointment for twice a day use and said that if not better by Monday, to start some (very expensive!) drops to force the eye to dilate. The vet said the constant contraction of the eye might be painful. The cat is not acting any differently than usual, eats, drinks, plays, naps as normal. Climbs and jumps as typical for him.
The ointment doesn't seem to be making a difference and I was wondering if anyone had experienced this with their cat and if they found a treatment.
