My kitten's third eyelid is torn but not painful. Does it need a vet?

Question

Looks like my kittens third eye lid is torn? No redness or inflammation or discharge,he's not in pain and it doesn't seem to bother him. Should I be worried? Will it go away on it's own? Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 15 days old

I recommend bringing Chester to the veterinarian. A torn eyelid can cause irritation to the cornea and pain and annoyance for Chester. If you can't get to a veterinarian tomorrow you can put an ecollar on him until you can get to a veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
