My 4 month foster kitten wouldn't open his eye so I took him to the vet. He scratched his eye pretty good. Doc gave me a drop one time per day and another drop 4/day. He seems pretty unhappy. Do you think I should separate him from the other fosters so they don't bother him? Poor guy.

Bless him, did it happen from a fight with one? If so I probably would and only have him in with the other when you can watch them. Hope he gets better soon :)

I'm not sure how it happened. It happened when I wasn't in the room. Maybe I will take him to work with me tomorrow to hang with me

Oh, I haven't ever seen them fight.  Well, not a serious fight - only play fighting but I guess it couldn't have happened during a wrestling match.

My older cat used to scratch her eye every once in awhile by just rubbing her eye with her paw.  I wouldn't separate him as he's not contagious and would probably be miserable without his playmates.
