Question
My kitten has a cold in his eyes, his eyes have a puss like substance and they are constantly teary. Today I felt his nose and it was warm, and for some time today he has been freaking out really bad over any movement or sound near him, I am thinking he may have a fever that is causeing him to see things and get scared, My question Is, whether or not I can do something to make him feel better and keep him health.

Answer
Sorry to hear of your kitten's  problem.  There are many diseases that kittens are subject to, especially if not vaccinated early on.  This sounds as if it has gone beyond a cold and into something that needs immediate medical attention.  I am not a vet so I cannot diagnose anything, but from the discription you gave me, it sounds like a real problem.  Try and get an appointment to see the vet as soon as possible...maybe this afternoon.  Good luck with him.
