Hiya!
As some of you know, my Cagney had her kittens 2 weeks ago,, we had 5, but lost one 3 days later
2 of the kittens' eyes are fully open, one's are completely shut, and the one I'm concerned about has one totally open, but the other eye is either gummed shut, or is "fused" closed?
At 2 weeks, shouldn't they all have their eyes open?
The little white kitten with one open and one closed eye is my main concern...is it possible that the closed eye is "defective", or if it is just "gummed up" would it be safe for me to put a warm, damp cloth on it to try to loosen it up? It looks as though theres a crust on it, but he's so little, its hard to tell for sure.
Can anyone advise me on this?
All the babies seem very healthy and active otherwise, and are growing rapidly!
p.s. the little white male who opened its eyes first, now looks like an alien :evilalien: his little eyes are just WAY too big for his head! He's too cute...oh heck, they all are!
