Hi hello! I have a 3 month old Kitten and recently noticed his eye has an issue. Originally I thought they were normal eye crusties and didnt worry much but recently it seems to have gotten worse.

Clean the eyes gently with a warm, damp cloth, and get a tube of Terramycin antibiotic eye ointment. Your vet will have it, and it is also available online through Amazon and Chewy. It will clear up infection! :)

Pretty kitty!

Kittens can and do get minor eye infections fairly easily. While it doesn't look super bad, seeing a vet for a check just to be sure is probably your best move. My boy, Link, got a minor eye infection when he was around that age too. The vet did a stain to make sure it wasn't scratched then gave me an eye ointment to apply for a week. Cleared up with no lasting harm.

Thank you for the advice I'm trying to get him seen on Sunday!
