we have a 7 year old cat, recently her eyes have been acting up. the third eyelid on both eyes are not opening up all the way and it makes her look crosseyed. is this something we should be concerned about?

I would definitely suggest a check up for her. There are many reasons for this kind of symptom such as....... fever, infection ( bacterial or viral), inflammation and neurological issues. A physical exam by your vet will help differentiate some of these causes and help guide what treatment is chosen . Does she have any eye discharge or redness, or sneezing. Has she had anything like this before as a kitten?
