One of my little ones is 5 weeks old tomorrow, and has had a goopy eye for a couple of days now. Yesterday morning is was completely shut from being crusted over. I've been cleaning it with a cotton ball soaked in warm water, and putting Puralube - veterinary lubricant - in it.
It was still goopy today and I had a look, and can't see any scratches or anything like that - I assumed she'd just had a scratch to the eyelid or something from one of her siblings. Anyway, so I think it's an infection.
I'm going to try to make an appointment to see the vet tomorrow. Does anyone know about eye infections in kittens? Is there anything else I can do in the meantime to help her?
