    Default My cat's eyes look really foggy

    She is only a year old, don't know if that matters. Um, there's no goo coming out of them or anything which makes me think it's not an infection. Does anyone know what it could be??

    You should bring her to a vet. Could be cataracts. (No pun intended!)

    answer from a vet:

    "I am not certain what you are seeing, however there are two distinct possibilities: there is corneal opacity or edema (the clear covering of the external eye) or the third eyelid, also known as the nictitans, may be extruded.

    Corneal damage must be treated now, so a vet visit is in order.

    The extruded 3rd eyelid is not necessarily an emergency, since many conditions can cause this structure to cover the eye. And it is possible that there may not be an eye problem that is causing this condition. Fever, upper respiratory infections, medication, environmental irritation, ear problems, etc. can all cause this 3rd eyelid presentation. If not better by the time you read this, then visit your vet."

    any vomiting/diarrhea? change in eating/drinking/bathroom habits? Are her eyes dilated?

    She should def see a vet...too many things this could be and a few are serious.

    Good call on taking her to the vet. Let us know what happens, hopefully she's fine.
