4 week old kitten with messed up eyes
Try using a damp, warm wash cloth and gently clean his eyes.

We cut up a new sponge into small pieces and use these, dipped in warm
water, to clean the kittens' eyes. This sounds like the "eye thing" that kittens commonly get. It usually resolves itself, but it takes awhile, three weeks or a month. It can be quite infectious, so the other kittens will probably come down with the same thing. You can take the kitten to the vet, and they usually prescribe an antibiotic of some sort. It still takes the same amount of time for the infection to clear, but the drugs reduce the possibility of a secondary infection taking hold. Bill "Gail" wrote in message ...
