Help pls


Next doors kittens are now 7 days .They are feeding well and growing like weeds
However we took them to the vets yesterday(she doesn't drive) since one seemed a bit snuffly.Vet checked babies and mum...all chests clear etc but gave some anti biotics to give at home any kitten than seemed snuffly.
One of the kittens has developed a swollen eye today...am concerned since the eyes are still shut any infection is obviously enclosed.
Advice pls

Personally, I'd call the vet for advice.

Re: Help pls


The kitten needs to see a vet as soon as possible-any infection at this age could result in long-term damage to the eye.
