1395. Stray cat's 3rd eyelid protrusion

Hi Dr Judy

My friend saw this stray cat was fine on 30 June 2014 morning but realised strange because of both eyes corner (in red circle) and wondering has it been hurt by some animal abuser when she saw the cat again the same evening?

Kindly let me know what causes the cat's eyes to be .....?

Thank you.

Mrs HUANG

 I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen from Toa Payoh Vets. Most likely, somebody has sprayed chemicals onto the cat's eye and the 3rd eyelids get inflamed and protruded.  this is based on image you sent. Diagnosis by long distance on affected site which is not focused by the photographer, is not advised but this is what appeared to be the case.
