Kitten has brown stuff coming from eye.
I'm kind of worried about my two month old kitten. She has this brown liquid
stuff coming from her right eye. I have seen other cats with stuff around their eyes, but this is like a liquid. If I wipe it with toilet paper, it looks brown. I really don't know how else to describe it. The woman we got her from said that when she gave her a bath she put mineral oil drops in her eyes. could this be the cause? Is this a serious problem and should I be worriedabout her health? Please, any advice is really appreciated. -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200606/1 |

Cats shouldn't have weepy eyes. I think I'd take her to see the vet. She might need an antibiotic eye ointment. If that doesn't do the trick the kitty might have a herpes infection. That can be addressed by giving her some L-lysine. L-lysine can be purchased at a health food store. You can give her 250 mg a day. If you get a pill crusher (I think they are available places like Pet Smart) you can mix the powder in with canned food. I've seen lysine do wonders for a couple of rescue cats who had chronic weeping eyes. W |

Sometimes "soon" isn't soon enough. This sounds like a serious problem. If you had a child with brown oozing out of its eye would you wait? Stacey |

When any of us kids gets sick, we usually wait it out for a day or two to see how we feel before going to to the doctor. Plus, a cat Second of all, don't try to act like I don't care about this cat. I promised that I would take care of her myself. Just because I can't really pay to go to the vet at random moments doesn't mean I don't care. I'm working for the money. Yes I am concerned about my kitten's well-being. However, she's still eating and drinking and she's extremely playful. I plan on taking her to the vet next week (as in a few days). And I will ask my mother to look at her eye, because she has a lot of experience with cats. If she is concerned about it, we will take her on Monday. I've never had a cat, and I didn't come here to get "scolded" from pretentious cat owners. I came here for advice. So instead of trying to accuse me of being irresponsible why don't you try to give me some pointers? -- C Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200607/1 |

Depending on what the problem is, an animal can end up blind without proper treatment. Short of blindness, some eye problems are excruciatingly painful. It shouldn't be that expensive--maybe an office visit and some drops or ointment depending on what they find. I'm glad she's acting playful and eating well. Good luck with your kitten, Bonnie |

Kitten has brown stuff coming from eye.
Lucy I got one question do you plan to take the cat to a vet ASAP. If so
than great you need to do so as soon as you possible can. Something like this no matter how much experience your mom has or anyone else does is not something to play with. It sounds like an infection which can easily kill kittens or spread to the other animals in the house. I am experienced myself as quite a few others in this group are. I have owned and been around cats since birth over 40+ + + years ago ( my exact age is my business and no one else's he he ) and was a shelter volunteer and rescuer till recently. And I would take the kitten to the vet without hesitation on this matter The posters out here are used to people trying to get a medical diagnoses over the internet taking the easy and cheap way out. That is why the lecture they give and they have every right to. You are new to this group if you could have seen some of the post they have you would be the same way to If we could post all the idiots that have come out here that have asked the most dumbest questions with the most obvious answers which is seek medical attention now you ought to see how many get ****ed off that we tell them to do that. Example my cat is limping on his back legs or my cat keeps falling over what could be wrong or my cat can't move his back legs my cats has blood coming out of his mouth So you are right that we should be giving pointers but you need to understand where we are coming from. Please keep us inform on the kittens We will gladly help out in any way we can but Please sooner than later for the vet "lucy707 via CatKB.com" u23450@uwe wrote in message news:6294b0284bfb4@uwe...
