Why is my cat's third eyelid dark and protruding? Should I worry?

Question

Should my cat’s third eyelid be this color? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The third eyelid does look a bit darker than normal, and they are protruding a bit, which can indicate a problem like intestinal worms. I'd have Leef checked out by a vet for this, and bring in a sample of his poop for the vet to examine for worms. If he does have worms, the vet can treat him. Give his vet a call to make him an appointment. I hope this helps.
