The white in the corner of his eyes is actually called his third eyelid. This is a normal structure that all cats have. However, his third eyelids are elevated at this time. This can indicate problems with the eyes or possibly general ill thrift ( or not feeling well). I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian soon as possible. They may recommend blood work to help determine a diagnosis. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
