My kitten has crusty eyes & discharge, seems healthy. What's wrong?

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.

It sounds like Squeak could have an eye infection. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. You need to take her into a vet immediately to have her eye examined and diagnosed so it can be treated as needed. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kreso. I agree that the lining of her eye is a bit red. She also appears to have some discharge. Respiratory tract infections with eye involvement are common in kittens and young cats. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian to determine if this is the case or if it is something else. She may need medication. I hope this information helps!

I suspect that Nylah has an eye infection. You can take her into the vet for illnesses during this time, it's ok and necessary. Leaving this untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into a vet now.

It could be that Honeycomb is suffering from an eye infection or allergies causing his symptoms. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it is considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Honeycomb into a vet immediately. The vet can diagnose what is causing his eye symptoms and treat him for it.

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Thank you for sending pictures as well- this is very helpful. The eyes (right eye especially) do look very infected. Eye infections in kittens are usually caused by a virus and is best treated with antibiotics and sometimes antiviral medications and supplements such as Lysine. Sometimes these infections can cause the kitten to rub excessively around the eyes which can cause the area around the eye to become very red and inflamed. Batshiva does really need to see a veterinarian for this so she can get properly treated. Eye infections can lead to lead to more serious conditions or the eye so it is best that she is seen sooner rather than later. I hope this helps and I hope she can see a veterinarian soon!

Your kitten needs to be examined by the veterinarian today. The cloudiness indicates trouble. It could be a scratch on the cornea, uveitis or other condition. Eye issues can get worse quickly so have Bret examined today. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
