appears my 6 month siamese has developed haws syndrome , i have wormed her as suggested and used eye drops , lets just hope it rectifies itself as quickly as it started as she has the most amazing blue eyes usually and is well, happy and content in every other way

Never heard of this syndrome Candriks, could you tell us what it is?

its just when the third eyelid sits over the eye instead of going back its been like it for a week and it will hopefully sort itself out

So is that the very bottom eyelid? Is it inflamed? I only ask because Kismet has one of the eyelids a bit inflamed at the mo What treatment have you been given for it? Thanks. C.x.

its the bit which comes in from the inner corner you do see it more in siamese /orientals or sick cats but when the cats not ill its just haws syndrome its a whitey silver skin which can cover up2 most of the eye mines not quite that servere but still ...........im using a natural remedy from india as i dont like putting chemicals in eyes

Oh it sounds a very unusual thing Candriks, wish you and your cat all the best with treatment of it. I'll just continue bathing with boiled cooled water on Kismet, think she just has a minor infection. Thanks for telling us about it in case it does crop up on anyone else's pets. Good luck with it. C.x.

thanks i hope it does get better or thats her show days over before shes began least shes not ill though

You may get it sorted and out on the show bench, so keep on trying lass

Some siamese and oris do have their haws further up than other cats because their eyes can be quite deep set. It is something they grow out of though.

But then there is third eyelid disease, which is a very common mild virus that causes their haws to come up suddenly. It sometimes is accompanied by a couple of days of the runs though. I don't think there is any specific treatment for it you just have to let it run its course.
