the TED?
MLB...I saw your comment under Jasper's picture on my site...asking if
he had seen "TED" cuz his 3rd eyelid is showing. What is "TED"? The Eye Doctor? The Evil Devil?  Should I be more concerned about this than I am? He honestly seems to be almost back to 100% normal. Is it possible that the 3rd eyelid showing is a sign of old age and not severe illness in this case? Pam

Very close; the evil doctor (no matter how benign the vet really is!). Should I be more concerned about this than I am? He honestly seems to be almost back to 100% normal. Is it possible that the 3rd eyelid showing is a sign of old age and not severe illness in this case? Pam As long as the vet knows that it's still showing, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't *think* it's age-related. Otoh, haven't done a search on it, either... Cathy

And in fact, none of the sick cats I saw it in were old. You have only had him since August--maybe it just takes some time for it to go away. You mentioned that he did not have proper nutrition for the last years of his previous owner's life. I feel certain your vet would have brought it up if he thought there were something else going on. Although, he might have assumed that it was because of this recent problem and not an ongoing thing.

From what I have read, it is a sign of illness. I suppose it could be old age, but I am not an expert. I really can't remember details of individual cats because there are so many. As used in the group, TED means (I was told) The Evil Doctor from the cat's point of view. When I mention this to my Vet, she said she got that impression from the cat's reaction. Best wishes and purrs that Jasper is OK MLB
