KItten Eye "Gooped" Shut!! Please help!

Hi, I have 3 kittens that are just over a month old, & they've all been doing perfect, eating lots, and getting into trouble! This morning I woke up and noticed Lola's(first born) right eye was gooped shut? I've been cleaning it & it's opening up after I do so, but I'm now curious/worried about what's going on?! Please help!!

Awww..... Sounds like an infection. "Goop" that glues the eye shut usually needs antibiotics. Is her forehead hot? In kittens things like this can sometimes come with a fever, and it's VERY important to keep them hydrated. I'm sorry this happened on a Friday afternoon (depending on where you live), but perhaps your vet is open tomorrow? I wouldn't wait until Monday. In an adult cat, maybe, but not a kitten. Vibes for you and your baby!

Sterile saline water can be used to rinse the eye.  In addition, most pet stores have a solution called "Opti-Clear" that can be used.  It may be time to supplement the kitten's diet with L-lysine to help prevent the spread of the feline herpes virus in its system.
 

If you're cleaning it and it keeps on shutting then antibiotic ointment is needed, not a home or pet store remedy.  Agree with LDG on not waiting until after the weekend to visit the vets.
