I'm having an issue with a kitten at 8 weeks.  Runny watery eyes, a bit lazy so far but we just got her.  She perks up when she wants but hasnt gotten up to play yet.   No coughing or nothing just runny eyes with yellow discharge... trying to hope its not passible to me or my dogs. but she is quarantined until I figure out,  or until into vets office. Hope she is ok - we gave her polysporn eye drops and flushed out eyes and wiped out yellow discharge.  Hoping this helps

She probably needs antibiotics from the vet.

Do you have a vet appointment soon? She needs to see a vet. She probably needs an antibiotic eye ointment, and may need antibiotics for another infection.

What are you feeding her? Hopefully kitten chow and wet food. Maybe some kitten formula to lap up?

An 8-week-old kitten should be perky and playing when not napping. You need to see the vet asap and get to the bottom of what's ailing her.
