Why are my cat's inner eye corners enlarged but she acts normal?

Question

I don’t know if you can really tell by this picture but, the corner of my cats eyes closet to her nose on both eyes are enlarged and they’ve never been like that. She is still acting normal by eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom. She is a inside/outside cat. I just can’t afford to get her to the vet. So if you have any ideas I’d really appreciate it. I’ve tried care credit and didn’t get approved. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 years and 4 months old | 10 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Elsa. Her third eyelids appear to be mildly elevated. This can occur with allergies, an eye infection or with a condition known as Horner's syndrome. In this last case though it is usually just on one side. Watch her closely for redness, drainage or pawing at her eyes. If these things occur, she will likely need veterinary care. Otherwise, if she is as acting normal, it should be fine to monitor her. Good luck!
