Not sure if it’s eyelid eversion (ectropion)
From the photo the eyelid is likely not everted yet - it may be a bit loose or the eye socket sunken. A sunken socket usually comes from dehydration, eye inflammation, or lack of rest; judge by the actual situation. Try pet anti-inflammatory eye drops and see if it eases. If eye signs worsen, see a vet.
My cat cannot stand up after lying down; when supported it tilts its head to one side, its paws do not plant, but lying down it kicks to get up; it will not drink water or eat when offered. Last night it passed four stools. It has been wearing an Elizabethan collar because its left hind leg has a problem with pus, and its right eye is inflamed
Based on your description, the cat not eating or drinking may be from low blood sugar after prolonged hunger, or another disease. The hind-leg pus and eye inflammation need vet debridement and anti-inflammatory care. Take it to a vet promptly; its condition is poor and delaying is life-threatening.
