Kittens third eyelid shows when blinking

[hillyy13]

Hi, I noticed my new 5 month old kitten’s left third eyelid sometimes shows when he blinks. Only the left one and not every time he blinks. It swipes across his eye but is gone again as soon as he’s stopped blinking.

He is very well in himself, very playful and loves to eat. Is it normal to see it when he blinks or does this warrant a vet visit? (He is fully jabbed etc)

Thanks!

Third eyelid showing, no scratch visible

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...

Thanks, I wasn’t sure whether to make a new post as it’s slightly different. Not visible all the time, just comes out almost slow motion when blinking lol! Usually his eyes look fine- pic attached of his usual bright eyes

Question- answer is much appreciated

This is another thread that might help. If you saw both third eyelids clearly visible and fixed, it would mean some kind of illness. Your baby certainly does not look that way. How much swipes across his eye?

Topical irritation in one eye only, if that?
