My kitten has running eyes?

Question

i adopted a kitten about 7 months old. Before it used to sneeze now it doesnt sneeze that much, but her eyes started watering, and she has yellow mucus coming from the eyes. I dont think the antibiotics will help, because she was taking them for a week before the eyes started running. Now her eyes are running. I wanted to know is there a way i could help her get better, like a homemade way, put somethin on the eyes? Wash them down with something not water?

i took him to the vet today and we showed him the antibiotics she been taken they recommended another antibiotics. They said they are the same but a little better. We chosed not to buy them, because it just too much money. Well they didnt say that it is too serious

Answer 1

Your cat has an upper respitory infection. It's nothing serious if treated, but if you don't do anything about it, it can become more serious (sometimes fatal-EEEK!). Take your cat to the vet ASAP!

Antibiotics will help along with a shot from the vet. The vet will inst\ruct you to give extra medication too, probably.

I've had the same problem with my cat. He got the same symptoms as a n 8 month old kitten and I just took him to the vet who prescibed the medication, and then after a week or so, he was perfectly fine.

Good luck, hope this helps!

Answer 2

Then go to another vet - or at least accept the current vet's advice!

I think your kitten has cat flu. She's exhibiting all the signs - sneezy, and mucous from eyes. Cat flu can be fatal if left untreated, especially lilkely in a kitten.

There is no way you can treat this at home. This is most certainly a viral infection - and of course, viruses have no cure, only prevention in the form of vaccines. It's sensible to administer antibiotics to a cat exhibiting viral signs however, as they usually end up getting secondary bacterial infections that cause real problems.

The fact that the kitten was taking antibiotics before her eyes started running doesn't mean they won't help now. Antibiotics are part of the supportive therapy required to help a cat's immune system fight off viruses.

I strongly advise you to get this cat treated by a vet. It won't be cheap, but it won't be ridiculously expensive either - unless it's left. As cat flu progresses, you're likely to end up with a cat that can't eat and is completely plugged up with mucous - this will require an IV drip and all sorts of medicines if the cat is to survive, and that will be fairly expensive.

I've never made a 'diagnosis' over the internet like this before because really it's impossible, but I think you need to know that it's extremely likely you have a kitten with a serious viral infection, and that this is not something you can treat at home.

Well I don't think it's normal for a cat to do that.
