9wk old kitten has swollen red eye
Hi there, looking for some help/advice. My 9wk old kitten has a bit of a swollen eye which is bloodshot (only on the White of the eye) and has had a bit of a green discharge/gunk from it. He's had quite a bit of tears from it (as the fur under his eye is patchy/damp from it) so I guess it's jst his body flushing it out. I've tried some cool boiled water with a touch of salt to clean it. He also tries to clean it but it's been about 3 or 4 days and it's not clearing up. I've heard about trying a used teabag as a colleague at work says it works for her cats but I've yet to try it. Does anyone else find this method helps or would it be best to get him to a vet? Would be great to hear if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what they've done to cure it using a home remedy or simple eye drops. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys (& gals!) LOL
