My kitten's eye is red and watery after an insect. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!

I highly recommend that you have Courage evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to do a more thorough exam of the eye.

Young kittens often get conjunctivitis. It's not pink eye (meaning it's not contagious to you), but it may require medication from your veterinarian for clinical signs to resolve. It does not sound like an emergency, but I would schedule an appointment with your veterinarian within the next several days if clinical signs have not resolved or certainly if they worsen.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Neptune's eye is red and he is pawing at his face or near his eye, it may be infected and bothering him. I would recommend Neptune see his veterinarian soon for an eye exam. Your veterinarian may want do a few tests of his eye to check for underlying conditions such as scratch on the cornea or other issues. He may go home with antibiotic drops for his eye or other medications as needed. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is difficult to know exactly what is going on without being able to look at her. This may be due to an infection for example. I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to evaluate her and proceed with therapy accordingly. Best of luck!

It sounds like Pepita has an eye infection or has injured her eye. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take her into a vet immediately to have this problem examined, diagnosed, and treated. Best of luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to an upper respiratory infection. This is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops and cats usually respond well to therapy. I recommend that you have Bubbles evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. If they agree that based on an examination, that seems to be the issue, they will likely prescribe medications to make him feel better. Good luck and best wishes!
