My kitten has buggers beside it's eye (originally thought it was sleep, but is consistantly coming back). Also there is fluid/liquid below his eye. I think he might have alergies or some kind of eye infection.
What could it be and how can I help my kitten?
Thanks,
Ben

you kitten has an eye cold! although miner, this can get serious if left untreated! it is very common, expecly with kittens! clean the eye with a tea bag & warm water 3 times a day! make sure to wipe in the corner of the eye (close to nose)out word so not to push the infection intto the eye more! do this for a week. if it dosn't go away by then, take to the vet for eye cream!!

The kitten has extreme top respiratory an infection which could be only taken care of with a visit to a vet. the appropriate antibiotic would be prescribed and quickly she'll be a healthful kitten back. do not %. the release from her eye, you're able to desire to injure her eye. Use a heat damp textile to moisten the closed eyelid and genlty wipe the release away. do not use the wash textile back, so that's recommended to apply something you are able to throw away. URI is amazingly contagious to the others, so make certain you wash your palms previously dealing with any of the different kittens. attempt to maintain the ill kitten secluded from the others, they provide the impact of being ok now even though it does not take long for the others to coach signs and indicators of an URI. Sneezing is the 1st sign, accompanied by ability of eye discharge or nasal discharge. you're able to land up treating each and all of the kittens so enable the vet comprehend you have different kittens at homestead wherein he would provide you an adequate quantity to handle all of them. BTW in the event that they have not already, the kittens must be getting their tom cat distemper pictures. And in the event that they seem to be a minimum of four months previous they might desire to have their rabies pictures too.

It sounds like an upper respiratory problem to me. If this has been going on for a while he could have allegries. If this is more recent...like in the past few days...he could have an upper respiratory infection.
If its the allegries you need to find out what he's allegric to...it could be dust, mold, pollen, dander, fleas...then try to get rid of it. There are pet allegry washes and medicines that you can buy over the counter at pet supply stores and walmart that you can use on him. If these things don't help he may need allegries shots or prescription pet meds.
If its the infection he will need antiboitics...which means a trip to the vet. This is very important because he can pass it on to you, other people, and other animals.
Either way if it hasn't cleared up in about a week I'd say take him in to see the vet. Its better to get it cleared up before it spreads.

It sounds like your kitty may have a cold or allergies. If you have a flea coller on her take it off and see if that doesn't clear it up. Also try wiping her eyes with warm water wipe from the inside corner out. If it persists take her to the vet.

Take it to the vet. He/she will probably give you some antibiotic drops to put in the eyes and/or an oral medication depending on if it's allergies or an infection.
