Answer

Hi,

A cat's third eyelid will show when she is ill or when there is an eye problem. Does she have any other symptoms? Discharge from the eyes or nose, sneezing, coughing, lack of appetite, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, not being able to urinate or defecate?

A vet visit would be in order to determine why the third eyelids are showing at this time. Once you get a definite diagnosis, appropriate treatment can be prescribed, if necessary.

Much good luck to you and your kitty! Please let me know what the vet says and if I can help you any further.
