All right, I've posted two topics on the subject of my kittens before...I'm just this clueless about raising them I suppose...Anyway, all the kittens seem healthy but one kitten hasn't opened one of his eyes. I tried cleaning it very gently with some warm water and was a little startled when pus started to flow from it. I stopped and looked online but could find little on this particular sort of situation.

Still Hittin' 'Em Right Between The Eyes
OK, try to relax and just clean the eye again, gently. Allow the pus to drain normally, don't force it. Just keep gently dabbing and wiping it away with clean, damp gauze until it stops draining out.

You will need to call your vet for some antibiotic treatment for this problem as it will not go away on it's own and if left untreated, may severely damage the eye. I realize it is early on Sunday morning and there may not be a whole lot of options available and open to you but it is important that you speak to a vet.
