I am taking care of a farel kitten. Tonight she came in and her third eyelid was perturbing in only one eye. She's squinting a bit, but playing and acting her usual self. I'm worried about her though. I'm considering taking off of work to take her to the humane society. How serious do you think it can be based off the little information I gave? Should I take off work? Could this go away on its own?

You can get some cat wormer and worm her. Often third eyelids prolapse with heavy worm burdens. Watch her eye and if she gets a discharge and the squinting gets worse, then take her to a vet for an exam. Since you are taking care of her so far and she condiserrs your place her home, you may want to permanently adopt her ;-).
