Equally I&amp;#39;ve had them when there is a normal eye underneath so It&amp;#39;s have a go at it just give then a realistic guarded prognosis but its&amp;nbsp;unlike&amp;nbsp;you&amp;#39;ll be able to&amp;nbsp;reconstruct&amp;nbsp;a normal 3rd eyelid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Cat with a strange eye...</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/70709?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Sep 2012 10:48:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:2b528c0f-c2ff-4fb2-91e5-15b670db2ef7</guid><dc:creator>james herriot lied</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Second the vote for a picture: genuinely curious about this one - eyes are very often strange, in my experience, but always fascinating&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Cat with a strange eye...</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/70699?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 03 Sep 2012 09:08:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:cf8457ba-c8da-470a-803d-b2c0e863e728</guid><dc:creator>Mark Hedberg</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I think a picture would be useful; I don&amp;#39;t think it&amp;#39;s a membrane.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
