Kitten's eyelids fuding together, need help now!!!

I've got a kitten who's right eyelids have gotten and infection and seem to have fused together on the inside. The upper and lower eyelids are separate from each other, but the inner or third eyelid seems to have fused to both the upper and lower eyelids. The inner eyelid won't go back toward the nose, and the upper and lower eyelid will open only as far as it will go until pulling on the inner eyelid. I haven't been able to get the kitten to the vet yet. I've been giving pentamycetin ointment in that eye several times a day since the first signs about 4 to 5 days ago and they seem to just keep growing more closed. I've also been giving amoxicillin several times a day. There was a mucous discharge that I removed the first day by wiping it out, the second day it stuck more and I had to use tweezers to pry off the mucous between the lids, and since then I haven't been able to remove it. It seems to me the mucous is fusing the lids together. i've just now switched to using tetracyclene ointment, and because I can't get in to see the vet until tomorrow afternoon, I'm wanting help in determining how to prevent the eyelids on the right eye from fusing together completely and having to deal with a worse situation. The eyeball behind seems to move freely, but I cannot be certain. What I can see of the eyeball seems to look normal, it is definitely not clouded. What can I do, I am very concerned for my 6 week old kitten. Please help.

Sharon,

My kitten is doing just fine. The eyelids appeared to be fusing together due to some swelling and discharge between the inner and outer eyelids. What I needed is to give both the tetracyclene and the pentamycetin together. Either one alone was treating one aspect, but not the other. It is FHV as I thought, so the vet approved of my having been giving him L-Lysine also (the pure form without the preservative which is very harmful to cats) and the eyelids have come apart and receded almost to normal now.

The first reply I got to my post was from someone who did not know much about any of this and just put me down in every way, and I was not going to return to this forum due to that. He didn't know I tried to get into a vet earlier and couldn't due to them being booked up at several locations, partly due to the long weekend, etc. However, your reply was very good and helpful and supportive, and I thank you. I have had many litters and saved many kittens the vets told me would not survive, and after many occurrences of some types of things, one learns to think for themselves and not drive the three hours to the closest vet every time a cat sneezes.
