Don't freak out, he's not going to lose his eye. If you have any saline solution use that to rinse his eye out. Or you can wipe it clean with a warm wet soft cloth. Take him to the doctor in the morning. He will be fine.

They will have ammonia on their breath if they've kidney issues, no longer consuming, being torpid and throwing up also are indicators of it. So too might be peeing and ingesting a LOT greater than ordinary. The gasping for breath although I've no longer visible with kidney issues, and can also be from if they've fluid at the lungs (deficient middle role or a lesion leaking) or perhaps if the puppy is anaemic. The functional solutions are most commonly the proper ones: Maybe she has an contamination and perhaps the vet can deal with it in time earlier than an excessive amount of lasting harm is finished? Your Grandpa demands your love and admire and if the puppy does not make it then your know-how how a lot she approach to him will support plenty. I wish the puppy can repair her quickly.

Sounds like he has an eye infection. He really needs to go to your vet as soon as possible. They will most likely give him some antibacterial cream for his eye, and if the swelling is very bad, it's possible that they could give him a steroid shot to bring it down some. It's common in kittens, and you shouldn't panic just yet. The vet gave my cat Terramycin ointment, which you can order at Jefferspet.com. But I would take him to the vet to be safe. I thought my cat would loose his eye... it was the most horrible thing I'd ever seen, but that Terramycin cleared it up in a week and he was just fine. So just get him to the vet and don't panic.

Hello. don't panic if the kitten did not have any trauma to the eye you're fine until tomorrow.
Here's what to do: wash the eye with warm salt water, "not too salty" more like when you rinse when you have tooth-aches.
gently rub away the discharge with a washcloth. and then maybe even leave a warm damp washcloth over the eye.
I believe he has and eye infection although they tend to look very gory and awful they do resolve with ophthalmic antibiotics

Rinse his eye with warm water and try to keep it clean try to remove any foreign material if he will let you and dont let him outsite. He probably has got something in his eye or has been in a fight with another cat, try to make a collar with cardboard or plastic to stop him getting at it and keep an eye on him. If you have just noticied it he obviously has recently injured himself, animals are resilient and he will be ok, just get him to the vet as soon as it opens. Good luck I hope he feels better soon

happened to one of my cats a few times. Some kind of extremely stinky juice kept leaking from his eye and on the side was some kind of green build-up and he couldn't open that one eye. Got him to the vet as soon as possible and he was fine. Your cat will be alright for a while just get him to the vet on time.

your kitten wont go blind so quit panicking,
just put some gentamycin cream in her eyes and she will be ok, 'Her body's immune system will kick in and heal itself anyway.
For Gods sake dont touch her infected tears and rub your eyes or you might get the contagion.
