Question
yeah i just got a six week old kitten and i noticed she has some icky stuff around her eyes not as much in them. do you know what this is? and what should i do? thanks
Kimberly,
Get a warm washcloth and gently wash it off. Your kitten probably needs to see a vet for antibiotics. If there is discharge from the nose too, then it could be serious. A kitten at this age should have clear eyes and nose with no sneezing. I wouldn't fool around with this, a vet visit is definetly in order.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
