Cat Third Eyelid Showing? Haws, Horners Syndrome, Cherry Eye, Infection or Conjunctivitis?

Have you noticed your cat’s third eyelid showing more than usual? A cat’s inner eyelid (nictitating membrane) is usually hidden, but if it becomes visible, it could indicate Haws Syndrome, Horner’s Syndrome, conjunctivitis, an eye infection, or other cat eye problems. In this video, Lyndal from Vetster explains what a cat’s third eyelid is, what might cause third eyelid protrusion, and whether home treatment is an option or if a vet visit is needed.
We’ll cover:
✔️ Haws Syndrome in cats - Linked to digestive issues, often resolves on its own
✔️ Horner’s Syndrome - A nervous system issue that affects the cat’s second eyelid
✔️ Cherry Eye - A third eyelid prolapse requiring surgery
✔️ Conjunctivitis in cats - A common cause of cat eye infections
✔️ Other cat eye problems and when a cat’s third eyelid showing no other symptoms still needs vet attention
