No, go to the vet. The eye infection could be something more serious like a respiratory infection. When I got my kitten from an abandon house he had pus in his eyes and stuff and I took him to the vet and he had upper respiratory infection and had to get treatent for that, and he turned out great. Sometimes kittens get it and it goes away but if it lasts too long you should take it to the vet. Don't use human medicine on it. Sometimes that can be dangerous for them.

People eye ointment should be safe. An eye is an eye. The infection may be caused by a respiratory infection and may need an oral or injected antibiotic.

nope you can't. you need to take them to the vet. or at least call the vet. they may be able to tell you what it is over the phone and just let you come pick up the right meds for it. my guess it is a common infection probably and they will have what you need. many meds are not formulated to be used interchangeably bt humans and animals, so even though it is tempting - don't do it!

No take them to the vet. Ur antibiotic may contain a steriod which can damage the cats eyes. Please take them 2 the vet so they can rx the right meds to clear up the infection!

No, because there are special medications and formulas especially for kittens. You should get a medication from your vet. There are some things in human medication that can not be given to animals, so you should not give it to your kittens.
