I have recently came across 2 male kittens approximately 8 weeks old. One has a little discharge and closure to the eye. He has no foul smell, nor does he seem to be sneezing or coughing. What can I do to help the kitten?
I am not working, so I do not have the money to take it to the vet. Can someone give me suggestions? I want to be able to take care of him. He is very sweet.

You can go to the vet office and ask for "baby kitten eye ointment" and they'll know what to give you. It doesn't take an appointment and the medication only costs about $5.00. The name of the medication is Teramycin. Wipe the eyes from the inside out with a clean cloth and a clean cloth for each eye before applying Teramycin.
hi, i hope this will help my kittens to get better sight .they are now 4 weeks but still the eyes is closed. and there is also eye discharge
I have called 2 vets where I live and yes they do have to be seen first they don't just give the ointment
Is this the same"Terramycin" that is spelled like this with two r's? Because I know some medications can sound very similar with just a slight spelling difference but this may be the same one, is it?
judi, are you still responding to people on this site; because I noticed that this answer that you gave about the" baby Eye ointment" was about 12 years ago!! so if you're still posting I have a question!! Some doctors require an appointment visit ro get it. (why? I wonder?) what veterinarian was it where you got this baby Eye Ointment with no appointment needed?? i would really like to know. Thank you very much!!!! i look forward to hearing your answer
I want to thank everyone who posted. Because of you my baby kitten I recently adopted is recovering. I read this post yesterday and used antibiotic ointment and flushed with warm water first.
What kind antibiotic ointment and how old is your kitten/cat?
My cat had kittens 4 weeks ago and one of her kittens eyes are doing this, what did you use to cure your kitty ?
I have 20 cats in total I been in the worse sircustances with my cats when my 2 cats was preggo I didnt know what to do... I call the vet to ask for help bcus one of my cats have only one kitten I got scare but I google how to help my cat delivery the babys from there on Im my cats vet... I love my animals now I have 8 kittens different mom yes Im cracy ... now all my kittens came out with this eye infection or allergy with pink eye and green puse in the eye got me worry ..
Sorry to say, but, its very important the kittens DO go to the vet. They need their shots or they can still get distemper and other diseases. Most puppies and kittens are born with worms too, so they will most likely need to be dewormed. I have never found any of the products at Walmart to work. If the kittens have fleas that needs to be treated right away too. Or it can lead to hemabartonella and kill them.
I forgot what age the kitten is, but if you have a zithromax tablet that is not old, then you can get that or order fish antibiotics animal supply magazines or at petsmart if they have it...
I had a pill of zithromax, a z pack and I cut it into sixteen pieces and gave it to them however much the following site tells to give it to them. You dose by weight. Antibiotics are the only thing that will help. Never throw good antibiotics away if you are going to have kittens.

Of course vets are always the simpler and easier way to go but if you cant afford it this is the way. Robyn
I have one 2 week old kitten and one eye is closed I removed gunk out with salty warm water and eyebud.what else can I do?
I have kittens that have pus stuff coming out of there eyes. They are about 6 weeks old.
I started feed some homeless cats and received a animal at large ticket for them (for my not keeping them restraining them to my property due to the fact that I am not there leave owner /caregiver according to the law) and tickets for no proof of vaccination if I don't get them to the vet I can becharged with neglect.
