Kitten With Discharge from One Eye

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.

RE: Kitten With Discharge from One Eye

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. The cheapest way to treat fleas is not to buy the tubes of flea medicine in the exact measurement you need but to buy the biggest tube and measure it out. A vet will give you a conversion chart. Call around and find a vet who will work with you on payment. Our vet allows us to pay with postdated checks and split the bill this way.

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 med. only costs about $5.00. The name of the med. is Teramycin. wipe the eyes from the inside out with a clean cloth and a clean cloth for each eye before applying med.
