Need help with kitten eye!

One of Tehya's kittens, Glacier, has something wrong with his eye I think. All of their eyes are starting to blink a little bit, getting ready to open. But one of Glacier's eyes seems to be shut tight, there is something like hard, dried pus that's reddish pink around it, and the eyes seems closed much tighter then the other one. I'm worried sick, I know pus around the eyes indicates a problem... any insight to what's happening and what I need to do? Please help!!!

My sugestion would be to get to a vet. When my Buzz was captured at 4 weeks he had a nasty staph infection that I had treated right away.

Laurel put a warm damp compress on the eye for just a few seconds, but DO NOT pull the eye open or try to wipe it opened. It sounds like the kitty needs a vet to look at it

Ok, going to put the compress on... I'll need to call someone to come take him to the vet, there's not a car home right now

We can get him there around 5:30 maybe... is this an emergency? Does he need to be taken NOW???

I think 5:30 would be just fine. Good luck to you and your kitten.

Okay... went and did the compress, something is definetly wrong, his eye is all pink, and maybe slightly swollen... I hope its nothing serious
