Slick's kittens are 11 days old now and from what I can tell, their eyes aren't open yet. They are fat and happy and getting around better every day. Still doing the belly crawl with some wobbly standing. Should I be concerned? They will probably open today now that I wrote this!!

Yours cat-mom is an ex-semiferal you are helping, right?

Many semiferales kittens have issues with clamydia(?)-infections in the eyes.

Are there any traces of pus in the eyes?? Coloured tears??

If they dont open eyes during the day, try to phone on monday a vet who is willing to answer questions on telephone...

I dont know, but this is what Im thinking about now when you are asking.

They can take up to 2 weeks to open but any longer then that and I would be concerned.

I would see if they are bulgy - if they are that could indicate pus. Use moist cotton wool to gently soak the eye and see if they open.

I saw in another thread they seems to be OK, and are also beginning to open their eyes. Yahoo!
