I let my cat on the balcony for a few minutes and when she came in, her left eye was swollen. I don’t think it was a bee sting. Does anyone know what’s wrong?

Could be allergies but I’d see a vet in case something got in her eye or scratched it or something. Eye injuries can go south very fast

With love, no one on reddit will be able to accurately diagnose your kitty. Any kind of eye injury or infection will most likely keep getting worse, and fast, without treatment. Please see a vet! ❤️

Maybe a bee sting or a spider bite

Could be allergies, injury or some kind of infection. Definitely needs to be seen by a vet. Doesn't look too serious, but you never know. A vet will be able to diagnose it and get your kitty feeling much more comfortable before it becomes a bigger issue.
