Ive bottle raised kittens before, but Ive been raising this kitten for 14 days ---since a couple days old or less, and she is growing and doing well, but her eyes haven't opened....today I saw liquidy stuff coming out of her eyes and a little crusty stuff....I cleaned them with the boric acid q-tips from the pet store, but the vet is closed and and I don't really have the $$....What about getting the Terramycin? Neosporin? She is healthy and strong, so I don't want her to get more sick...please help...

Had the same problem with my kitten, put alittle bit of pencillin(you can buy at any hardware store) in her eyes. make sure you remove the needle before you do though.
Or you can always buy the same stuff that they use to treat mastidice in cows. That's what i used, used it once and her eyes have been healthy and clear as i've ever seen them on a cat. Trust me It really works.
been doing it since i was a little girl, and i know what i'm talking about(worked with vets for two years of my life) and it saves the cost of vet bills.
