What should I do if my cat has a swollen flesh covering his eye?

The main consideration for a swollen flesh inside a cat’s eye is that the cat has a protruding third eyelid. A small percentage of cats with a protruding third eyelid will retract on their own, but most cats with a protruding third eyelid will not be able to retract. When a swollen flesh is found inside the cat’s eye covering the eye, take the cat to the vet for examination and treatment. If it is not treated promptly, the protruding third eyelid may become oedematous or even necrotic.
