Hello. I am sorry that Jewels isn't feeling well. If she lines across her eyes this could be many things. It could just be debris and 'eye boogers' that wipe away when you gently wipe the eye with a warm wet cloth. If they are grey/clear then this is normal and not of concern. If there is yellow or cream coloured debris she could have an infection and should be seen. If it is black and doesn't wipe away then this could be 'dry-eye' or irritation of the cornea due to various causes, and if this is present I would get her seen by a vet. If you are seeing redness, blue-ness, or if she is squinting at all then you need to get her to a vet. Good luck with Jewels.
