can anyone help.
one of my kittens has a weepy eye.
i have been bathing it with cooled salted water is there anything else i can do for him

More info needed

Is this a kitten you recently bought or is it a kitten in a litter that you have?

If the baby is part of a litter you currently have, then sticky eyes can be quite common and often result as mum's washing bums and then faces. If that's the case, cool boiled water is fine. I know that May on here uses milk and swears by it (I've not tried that one myself yet). If it persists, take the litter to the vets.

If this is a baby you recently bought then the baby could have a minor infection in which case a vet visit and eye ointment would sort out the problem. (if the washing with boiled water doesn't work)

Hope your baby is feeling better soon

its like a crusty greenish discharge it did look to be healing but then it came back twice as bad...so it looks like a trip to the vets for us.....

If it's a discharge and has gotten worse, then it does sound like infection and eye ointment will soon sort it out. There's nothing worse than when our fur kids are off colour.

Ointment alone may cure it (from the vet) fusilthalmic (little orange tube). However go and see the vet anyway. I used the Fusi ointment on one of mine as I had some in and it wasnt the correct treatment for that particular ailment. Mine had an ulcerated eye and ended up having to have it took out completely So I wouldnt just put anything in, go to your vets and get advice first

update for you,
he has been given cream for his eye and is on tablets for 5 days,he has to go back on monday to see if the eye is getting any better if not they will be thinking of removing it.
he just sat there purring away poor little thing

I don't know if you meant normal milk or what but to add my tuppence worth when a baby has a sticky eye a bit of breast milk works wonders so if it was a simple thing and not an infection as it turned out to be you could try some of the Queen's milk - it has all sorts of goodies in you see.
